My method has no particular issues except those common to any and all methods. That a method works for one particular PDF never means it will work for any other PDF. There is such a massively wide range of characteristics possible with the PDF format that any manipulation will always be a trial-and-terror situation. Hence, the preface to my first reply.
If you frequently have to either convert or alter PDFs you will want to collect a range of tools. When one doesn't work well simply try another.
