I learned that you should not combine pdf files with different pdf versions. They can be converted by reinterpreting them in ghostscript, as below.
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4
-dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH
-sOutputFile=clean.pdf original.pdf
# In windows, replace 'gs' with 'gswin32c.exe'
that made the trick for me. It's trivial to call ghostscrip with 'exec' or 'system' from perl.
It wasn't a perl problem and I should not have posted it in perlmonks, probably, but I wanted to share the solution anyway.
Cheers
Giovanni

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
