Just in the case you are having problems:
notice that gs cannot work with pdf files that come from an input pipe.

This is from the docs of gs_aladdin 5.03 (/usr/doc/gs/use.txt.gz), however
the same should be true also for gs 3.33:

  You cannot use the `-' switch to provide PDF input from stdin or a pipe.
  The PDF language, unlike the PostScript language, inherently requires 
  random access to the file.

Ciao,

Marco
