There's something weird about that document, there a number of figures that do not show up in the pdfimages output. here's what it lists for the entire document: page num type width height color comp bpc enc interp object ID x-ppi y-ppi size ratio -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 0 image 459 164 index 1 8 jpx no 2737 0 257 257 9714B 13% 1 1 image 459 164 index 1 8 jpx no 2738 0 257 257 12.9K 18% 1 2 stencil 394 186 - 1 1 ccitt no 2739 0 301 301 436B 4.8% 1 3 stencil 394 184 - 1 1 ccitt no 2740 0 301 300 398B 4.4% 1 4 stencil 387 182 - 1 1 ccitt no 2741 0 301 300 413B 4.7% 1 5 stencil 387 55 - 1 1 ccitt no 2742 0 301 300 61B 2.3% 1 6 stencil 387 116 - 1 1 ccitt no 2743 0 301 300 139B 2.5% 1 7 stencil 387 256 - 1 1 ccitt no 2744 0 301 301 515B 4.2% 1 8 stencil 387 205 - 1 1 ccitt no 2745 0 301 300 220B 2.2% 1 9 stencil 96 53 - 1 1 ccitt no 2734 0 301 301 65B 10% 1 10 stencil 96 63 - 1 1 ccitt no 2735 0 301 300 118B 16% 52 11 image 670 104 index 1 8 jpx no 155 0 179 150 7267B 10% 86 12 image 675 407 index 1 8 jpx no 259 0 120 120 41.3K 15% so either pdfimages is busted, or some of the figures in that document are stored/created in some unusual way. I don't know enough about PDF internals to have a clue. Sorry I can't be of more help.
