* New upstream release
- pdftopdf: If the input PDF file contains an interactive
form, flatten it to static PDF so that further manipulation,
like scaling, number-up, ... do not let the filled for
content getting lost. This is implemented by using the
pdftocairo utility of Poppler and if this fails Ghostscript
(9.22 or later recommended). This will probably replaced by
a QPDF-based solution later. Thanks to Tobias Hoffmann for
the QPDF-based detection of PDF forms (Upstream bug #1315,
LP: #1564249).
This bug was fixed in the package cups-filters - 1.17.4-0ubuntu1
