Pdfimages extract bitmap images from the PDF. Your figures are in vector format, and should be handled differently. You have several alternatives: 1. Acrobat may have an option to save a figure as PDF (or as EPS?). The pdf can be converted to EPS. 2. Use pdf2ps+ps2eps to create an EPS from the PDF (if the PDF has several pages, use gv+ps2eps). Then, you may need to manually fix the bounding box. 3. Use pstoedit to create an xfig figure, then open it in xfig and remove unwanted elements. Then export the figure to EPS.
