Yes. It's an image that is embedded in the stream by using the BI ... ID ...
EI operators. This is easy to implement, since we don't need pdf objects and
we can store the whole stream in one string (instead of writing the image to a
second file). Of course, it's only a suitable solution for very small images
(like icons or logos).
I've already described the problem in the newsgroup comp.text.pdf, but there
was no useful answer. Obviously, my demo PDF file prints on some printers, and
does not print on others.
A minimal example tex file is attached to this mail. On our printers (HP
Laserjet and ColorLaserjet) there is no output. Acrobat reader on the other
hand has no problems with the file.
Ciao,
