pdftopdf is part of cups-filters, not ghostscript.

Perhaps if you describe more detailed what to do to replicate the issue, 
then others less familiar with the tool can help triangulate what is 
going on.  As an example, I have ghostscript and (some parts of) 
LibreOffice installed, but not cups-filters, so if the flaw is in 
cups-filters then obviously my replicating the steps would fail.
