Bug Description

When I run pdfimages -f 1 -l 1 -png Z.pdf z-pdfimages, I get 5 images, two of which are black rectangles.

If I run pdftocairo -png Z.pdf z-pdftocairo, I get one image that looks correct.

I can reproduce this for certain files in xenial. Most of these files are pdf files that were converted from ps format.

Unsure there is really a bug there, the example from example 1 doesn't seem to include images that fail to be extracted? The empty rectangle ones might just be due to the way the pdf is built. That's still behaving the same way under disco
