Actually I think I just figured it out. If I try the same command on two 
other PDFs then it works just fine. I think there's an issue with one of 
the PDFs that it's not 100% Adobe pdf compliant. When I try to convert 
the same bad file using ghostscript it works but it tells me the following:


**** Warning:  File has an invalid xref entry:  2.  Rebuilding xref table.

Thanks for taking the time to help!
