Look at : 

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=224358

For details, with even a example .pdf.

Well, there are problems on file which used to work with older versions
of gpdf, so i doubt it is that. And i thought that the debian maintainer
of gpdf is supposed to have the bug reports follow up upstream, but
maybe this is not the case. At least i do so with my packages. A Debian
user should not be forced to know all of the upstreams BTS, and i at
least refuse to have anything to do with bugzilla.
