What command do you run to optimize the PDF?

python2.6 pdfsizeopt.py --use-pngout=true --use-jbig2=true --use-
multivalent=true  reign-company-reference.pdf

(It does not work with either or all of the options set to false, either)

What does pdfsizeopt display when running the command above?

What's wrong with the optimized PDF?

The parsing breaks and no optimized PDF is created at all.

What should be there in the optimized PDF instead?

There should be one in the first place. (If the info is helpful: The PDF 
was created with pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009))

Can you try the patch that I posted for issue 31?

With that patch applied the PDF is correctly optimized. I will try some more 
files 
that caused trouble, but so far they seem all to work now. Thanks!
