I've used Acrobat Reader 4.05 on Linux to convert the PDF to PostScript
Level 2. The generated PS file printed well on out Xerox DC 12. Actually,
I've never checked with our Xerox DocuPrint 4635.
What monster do you have? I'm still waiting for a PDF RIP for our 4635.

Should work, but I'd try "Illustrator 88", too.

That sounds like something's really wrong. Does this logo really show
when opened in GhostView?
The above error happens in this code (from
org.apache.fop.images.FopImageFactory.java):
ImageReader imgReader = null;
try {
if (imgIS == null) {
imgIS = absoluteURL.openStream();
}
imgReader = ImageReaderFactory.Make(absoluteURL.toExternalForm(),
imgIS);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new FopImageException("Error while recovering Image Informations ("
+ absoluteURL.toString() + ") : "
+ e.getMessage());
}
Edit this file and add "e.printStackTrace();" before "throw new Fop....",
so we can see what the original error is. Unfortunately, the code here
hides the original exception. e.getMessage() is obviously null, so it
could be a NPE or something.

I'm here :-)
Two ideas:
1. If you've got a relatively new Illustrator you can save your logos as
SVG.
2. If you have Unix (Solaris, Linux) available, you could convert the
PDF to PS using Acrobat Reader on the command line using -toPostScript.
I hope this helps.
