........
we are using ghost script to make images out of pdfs and don't see these errors. 
  We rely on acrobat reader to tell us if the document is corrupt. If you have a 
small script that creates the error please post it here.

The sort of command that we end up running looks like this

C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.60\bin\gswin32c.exe -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH 
-dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dJPEGQ=85 
-sOutputFile=C:\Tmp\talpha2-page%04d.jpg -sDEVICE=jpeg -r9x9 -f talpha2.pdf
