[gl2ps] PDF production problem

    Hello

   I have a problem with the PDF production in my application.
My context is a litle bit complex, it is an Inventor application
(using coin3d) on which I have been able to plug gl2ps
(through an Inventor "action" SoGL2PSAction of my own).

   The PS production is ok, but the PDF produces files
not understood by my Mac PDF viewer (something called "Apercu"
spawned automatically by the Finder of my Mac (MacOSX 10.3.5).

   My gl2ps is 1.2.3 and in fact a recent one sent to me by Christophe
to work on the line stipple.

   I have joined a z15.pdf file produced by gl2ps and a capture.pdf
produced by the capture system of the Mac in order to see what is 
expected.

   On the z15.pdf file, "Apercu" crashes and the mail of the Mac shows a 
view without the
solid shapes. On a Linux xpdf shows the same than the mailer of the 
Mac. Note that
xpdf comlains with :
Error: PDF version 1.4 -- xpdf supports version 1.3 (continuing anyway)

   On a Windows, AcrobateReader 6.0 stops with an error dialog box saying
(in French) "Restauration incorrecte".
