I was able to export them as dxf with splines using Ghostview. they opened in Corel Draw without fills. The drawing lines are clear and defined but fills are gone (bitmaps stripped out?). Lines are also not connected (could be reconnected?). Some of the text is distorted (could be replaced?).
The attached sample result is bitmapped and reduced in scale.

In other similar files, the pdfs have always opened exactly like you described, as vector objects plus bitmap files.
Have you actually been able to open the files the proper way in a vector programme? If so, I'd be very much grateful for any version (svg, ai, or a pdf saved to preserve vector + bitmap editability) that I could try my hands on.
I would like to enlarge it, and possible recolour it, you see, and I don't want to go the Photoshop way when the vector possibility is so close...
