Bug Description

for example, printing the attached pdf to the virtual PDF printer in 12.04 (fresh install in virtualbox) makes cups-pdf take a long time to process( > 10 minutes). the "top" program reports the "gs" takes 99 percent of cpu.
but it takes only 10 seconds in 10.04 (fresh install in virtualbox).

p.s. the pdf is in chinese

This slowness is due to cups-pdf doing an unneeded conversion to PostScript and back to PDF, see bug #820820.
