Indeed. I've used ghostscript to postprocess PDFs generated from other sources to do things like resample images and subset embedded fonts, mostly to make the resulting PDF smaller and load faster. But as a side-effect it'll toss out any scripts and other crap lurking in there.

This actually rerenders the PDF to PDF, which seems safer then trying to strip stuff out.
