Hi Patrick,
what I would try first is to check whether other programs like sam2p
or convert (ImageMagigck) can process the broken files properly.

Maybe it's even possible to use convert(1) in order to convert from
JPEG to JPEG.  I can imagine that ImageMagigck tries to repair the
broken entries, at least if they are obviously wrong.

What happens if you run

 convert foo.jpg -resize 100% foo2.jpg

? Do you get a different result?

If you are using one of the programs mentioned above in order to
convert to PDF directly, check whether the /MediaBox looks reasonable.

There are many things one can try.

Regards,
  Reinhard
