It does indeed look like this is the case - your client is doing filtering of the PDF file and should be sending the job to the remote server using the application/vnd.cups-pdf MIME media type to tell it not to fiddle further, but that isn’t happening.

We don’t see the same problem on macOS with PDF printers, so I’m guessing this is specific to the cups-filters PDF filter or something with your particular configuration. Normally PDF files should be send to a remote CUPS server without filtering so that this doesn’t happen... :/
