Please, upgrade Ghostscript at Commons from version 8.61 to a newer one, if possible. It probably will fix some bugs in jpg conversion like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Quincas_Borba.pdf/page15-741px-Quincas_Borba.pdf.jpg (and at others pdfs with similar problem) aparently solved in [http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/cvs/Details8.htm 2007-12-11]); and others reported bugs, like

See if someone can handle this.
Comment 2 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-01-29 04:44:00 UTC
Depending on where this an issue, its going to need an upgrade on the image scales, and/or the Apache. Or the pdf servers which may be an issue...

As such, your going to have to need ops involvement, as due to the dependency tree, it might require a major OS update to achieve this

Version numbers on ubuntu package releases need checking

Also this smells like a dupe
Comment 3 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-07-06 20:10:20 UTC
Removing "shell" keyword for things that aren't directly doable by shell users etc
Comment 4 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-07-06 20:31:26 UTC
Adding ops keyword
Comment 5 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-07-06 20:31:58 UTC
Removing shell keyword if exists

Comment 7 Mark A. Hershberger 2012-05-07 14:36:22 UTC
Upgrading to gs 9.x would help with support color profiles.  From #ghostscript:

<Robin_Watts> Versions of gs prior to 9.00 will not have handled color
              profiles correctly, which means you may see slight colour
              shifts.
Comment 8 Mark A. Hershberger 2012-05-07 14:46:16 UTC
(The RT ticket has been closed, but I reopened it to request gs 9.0)
Comment 9 Rob Lanphier 2012-05-08 01:12:46 UTC
Let's not reopen this bug every time we want to upgrade Ghostscript.  Renaming this to reflect the upgrade from 8.61->8.71, since as near as I can tell, the problem cited in comment #0 was fixed.  Let's use bug 36580 to track the upgrade to 9.05+.
