Tom, FYI, I have been having a similar problem with getRGBImage() returning null, but I have not been able to get any help on it.
I have submitted my problem on Apache JIRA as a bug at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-616. You might want to look at this bug report and see if your problem is the same as the one I reported.

PDFBox will do the parsing, iText the writing. The only problem I currently have left ATM, is that I need to extract TIFF images from PDF's and save them uncompressed to files, even if the TIFFs inside the PDF are compressed. Now, I've got the compressed tiff, I can save it to file using write2file, but I cannot get my hands on an uncompressed version of the image; the getRGBimage returns null. The source code says: "Returns an image of the CCITT Fax, or null if TIFFs are not supported. (Requires additional JAI Image filters )" I've got jai_core-1.3.0 and jar_codec_1.3.0 included... What is missing? Tom
