pdftocairo -pdf myfile.pdf mynewfile.pdf
produces a pdf that looks bad on display from the beginning (you don't even have to preview or print it), and pdftocairo "converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files, using the cairo output device of the poppler PDF library", so I assume the problem is with poppler or cairo.
I submitted a bug report
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31887
This command produced the odd-looking pdf. Should I may be submit a bug for poppler? (if yes, would you recommend arch linux bugzilla, or upstream?)
]]>pdftocairo -pdf myfile.pdf mynewfile.pdf
This simply reads the pdf in to cairo surfaces and renders them to a new pdf. If pdftops works this does essentially the same thing, but it gives you a pdf back in the end.

Is there a way to downgrade packages in arch?
