I also had this problem. I then downloaded the PostScript version and
tried to convert that. My conversions failed on three instances of a
mis-typed font ('Helvetica-bold' instead of 'Helvetica-Bold') and [IIRC]
one other fairly recognizable typo, which I fixed. I could then pass it
through Acrobat Distiller, but come out without the images (and this is
all sloowww on my machine due to the file's size).
I could probably come up with a patch file, but I suppose the better
course is to find where the problems are in the original SGML, which I
didn't do.
