Ghostscript renders Postscript and Ghostscript.

If Ghostscript _produces_ the provided PDF, then please provide the 
input Postscript which Ghostscript processes wrongly.

If instead Ghostscript is _given_ the PDF for processing, then I don't 
follow what bug you believe is in Ghostscript: It seems to me that the 
PDF has tiny fonts already in that PDF.

What would you expect Ghostscript to do with such PDF instead of 
faithfully rendering it as composed?

Would you e.g. expect Ghostscript to auto-resize small fonts?  If so, 
how would then explect Ghostscript to clip or auto-rewrap text too 
wide in the input PDF?
