We are experiencing problems with media filtering of PDF files added in our 
thesis digitisation project.

A number of the files (perhaps 10%) will not filter, the command window just 
pauses for up to 15 minutes or so, then displays:

"SKIPPED: bitstream 5698 (item: 10182/1780) because filtering was unsuccessful"

No other error message or clue is given.

I can see no common feature of the PDFs that won't filter - they can be b&w 
only or some colour, different PDF versions. Yes, they are all quite large 
files (10MB or larger), but not all files of this size are failing in this way.

I find that if I split the file into parts and re-upload, they will then filter 
OK.

Has anyone else experienced this and do you have a solution?
