The PDF is bogus: keys in image dictionaries in PDF *must* be names
(different from
PostScript where alternatively strings (or even numbers) may be used as
keys).
But it may well be that Adobe's PDF viewers (Reader, Acrobat) ignore
this restriction
and accept strings as keys.
How has your PDF been created?
