Yes we use CCITT Fax4 a lot. I did now add jai_core.jar and jai_codec.jar (from JAI 1.3 at http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jai/) to the lib list. However this didn't change anything. Then I removed both libs and took your URL (which is outdated) and added jai_imageio_windows-i586.jar to the lib list instead. This didn't help either :-(

> I wrote a test application using org.apache.pdfbox.ExtractImages to... extract images as PNG. (This is the start of something bigger, which involves making a statistic about the content of over a million pages within PDF files) However all images I get are all black or all white when I test on our own PDF files. I did get correct images from a file that had color images. To extract, I tried page.convertToImage() and then writing with ImageIO.write(), but I also tried using PDFImageWriter, neither had success for b/w images.
> The sample PDF is not confidential; it does give a warning "getRGBImage returned NULL" but other PDFs that don't give the warning (but are confidential) also fail.
