Your patch does work - the only difference I can see is that the pdfs are much larger. I don't see an easy way to not build the pdf files which might just be easier

I think not having to build ghostscript and its dependencies is well worth the increased size of the pdfs especially if as you say there is no easy way to just avoid building them in the first place.
