My friend replies:

I got nothing when I ran the command. I suspect it may have to do with the
version of ghostscript as I am able to deal with several other pdf files,
just not that one. Hence, it may have something therein which the slightly
older version of ghostscript can't deal with.

Unfortunately, the newer versions of ghostscript are all packaged for
redhat 8 (the box I have uses redhat 7.3 and I don't know how difficult it
would be to upgrade and keep everything intact).


Any suggestions?


Mike
