-dPreserveAnnotTypes NOT Working

Taking a look under the PreserveAnnots switch here:
https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/latest/VectorDevices.html#pdf-file-output-pdfwrite

Trying to apply the -dPreserveAnnotTypes is NOT working, for example lets try the following to preserve HYPERLINKS:
Example:
gs -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=output.pdf -c "/PreserveAnnotTypes [/Link] def" -f basic_link_1.pdf

BUT, please note that this is NOT working, unfortunately..... it flatten NOTHING, all annotations are NOT flatten, and hyperlinks are also NOT flatten.

Also we try the following, and it doesn't work either:
gs -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=output.pdf -dPreserveAnnots=false -c "/PreserveAnnotTypes [/Link] def" -f basic-link-1.pdf

Please see the relevant issue at:
#113

Can you please examine where is the error regarding -dPreserveAnnotTypes switch ?

Hi Geo-Van, like I said, please report this to the core Ghostscript website: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/

Hello,
The latest version 10.02 works:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o output.pdf -c "/PreserveAnnotTypes [/Link] def" -f input.pdf

Thank you!
