I forgot to send this to the list, instead of just Gunter. I'm pretty sure this is what the problem is with the archive.org images. pdfimages probably won't be able to handle it either.

The images within the PDF, for most archive.org books, are a variant of JPEG2000 using segmented coding. I don't think ImageMagick is going to do too well either. I would upgrade Acrobat if possible. If that leads to conflicts, consider reading the DJVU versions of the same books from archive.org. They use very similar encoding so they achieve the same wonderful compression, and the DJVU plugin won't interfere with your Acrobat installation.
