[poppler] Rendering PDF with GDAL issues

Ladies/Gents,
I downloaded poppler 0.35.0 and used CMAKE to produce VS2012 solution files with freetype, jpeg, png, zip, cairo on Windows 7.  I downloaded and linked against static libraries of png, lcms2, and zlib.
I created a simple test PDF and uploaded at:    http://www.filedropper.com/littlecmslogo
If you do not trust the hosted source, all I did was took little CMS Logo from their API specifications PDF and copy/paste into a new MS Word document with a line of text above the logo.  Saved the file as a PDF. 
Here are a few questions I would like to be answered:
1. Can someone explain why I cannot render this particular image?  2. What type of decoding/rendering issues could I be having? 3. Did I forget to include another third-party package for poppler to decode the image?  4. What are the recommended settings when building poppler (i.e., what items within poppler should/requires to be enabled) when using CMAKE?
5. If I cannot get an answer for that, how can I look into the PDF document hex data or dictionary to see how the image was stored? 6. What is the purpose of the poppler data files?  Do I need those to decode/render items correctly?  How can I specify dynamically the location of the data files upon runtime? A previous build has worked for me and I do not know of why my new build of poppler is not working.  I must be not building the library correctly.
Thanks in advance, 
Bob
