The PDF has, per page, three images and a hidden text layer.

gscan2pdf does not (yet) support the concept of background/foreground
images and thus each image is imported as a separate page. This is
also what the warning at the end of the process says.

This is a feature, not a bug, as the aim of gscan2pdf is not to
provide a fully-fledged PDF viewer.

Unless you are referring to some other part of import process, I am
tempted to tag this as wishlist.

I hope at some point in the future to add features splitting
foreground and background. At this point, gscan2pdf could be expect to
import PDFs like this better.
