Oh, ok then. Is there a way I can check or repair the PDF? Adobe Reader is opening it without any issues...

Ok, so I was able to resolve the issue by running Ghostscript with these options

Code:
 gswin64c -o repaired.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress original.pdf
Now it opens the PDF.
