           Summary: Ghostscript package can not process pdf files anymore
           Product: buildroot

Dear Buildroot Dev Team,

thanks for the great work in the first place!

I am facing an issue with the Ghostscript package that is available in
buildroot. Starting with Version 2022.02 I am not able to process PDF files
anymore. I was already in contact with the Ghostscript developers, and we found
out that this has to do with the added compile option "--without-pdf" as the
version was updated to 9.55.0
(https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/commit/7a4944569ce83b0b7b0cabd6e8aa184b8cb72a22).
They changed how PDF files are processed and did a greater rework, but adding
this above mentioned option totally disables the PDF feature (which is crucial
for example when driverless printing via Ghostscript is used). I think this is
not a generally wanted option. They also offered help when further need is
required to work out the proper compile options for the make settings within
buildroot.
