--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
The PDF opens fine, the issue is that it had been prepared with OCR of the page
images.

You can remove the OCR by opening in your PDF viewer of choice and then
printing the result back to PDF. Just the page images will be output--none of
the OCR text runs.

Alternatively if you prefer, or need the OCR results--you can do that with
LibreOffice Draw. It is a manual process where by on each page of the imported
PDF you select the source page's image and delete it, leaving the OCR text runs
behind.

But, it would be kind of convenient if the pdf import filter offered methods to
strip out either the image, or the OCR text when both are present.
