Original pdf for testing

When converting the attached pdf to postscript using pdftops the result has missing letters compared to what acroread shows. For example you can check the filled text in "Municipio" and "Provincia" fields, among many others.

pdftops version 0.30.0 and 0.32.0
Environment: Centos 7 (64bit)

Hmmmm, i think it works here, can you attach the generated ps file? which options are you passing to pdftops?

sure, here is the ps file obtained. No options used to obtain that ps file:

pdftops original.pdf converted.ps

also tried with -level3 option. same visual result, smaller file size.

The real scenario is the original file being printed (same missing letters in printed paper as in ps file). So the actual options passed to pdftops are the ones passed by cups internally. cups version is 1.6.3
