PDF File not displaying or printing correctly

Reported by j...@jcoconsulting.com, Jan 28 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://jcoconsulting.com/temp/bullzipiis.pdf

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Working version:
http://jcoconsulting.com/temp/msptopdf.pdf
Non-working version:
http://jcoconsulting.com/temp/bullzipiis.pdf

What is the expected behavior?
Both pdfs were generated by the same program.  Both should display and print the same.  They do on other browsers.

What went wrong?
The gradient filled areas are shifted to the right.  It is not as pronounced when printed.  The printed version was on an HP CP1525cw laser printer.  If you print from Chrome to the bullzip pdf printer, the gradients don't print.  If you print it to the Microsoft Print to PDF printer, the gradients do come through and that version will display correctly in Chrome.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.132  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

The bullzip pdfs do display and print fine in other browsers and with Adobe reader.  I will submit a report to them as well.

Probably we should move this bug to pdfium?

The PDFs visually look similar, but the way they are structured is different. Bullzip generates a smaller PDF that uses patterns. Whereas the MS Print To PDF one does not and instead just has a straight-forward set of images.
Bullzip offers a modified installation that works with Chrome
