The processing is done via Samba. Acrobat Distiller is not simply
processing a list of files, it is consolidating a group of files onto a
single file, discarding repeated graphic objects and creating a single
subset of fonts from the various font subsets present on the original pages.

The tools you quote do not apply in this case. I am not talking about
office style PDFs, I am talking about full professional PDFs for
printing presses, with embedded color profiles such as ISO Newspaper,
JPEG2000 compression, bicubic resampling, etc. Not even Ghostscript does
that kind of thing. I wish it did, but it doesn't.
