Yes, you're quite right, thanks for reporting this. It turns out that
the gsConvert.pl script advertises the -pdf_ignore_images flag but never
actually parses it. This is easy to fix; edit
gsdlbinscriptgsConvert.pl and add an extra line to the
parsargv::parse command (about line 100):

'pdf_ignore_images', $pdf_ignore_images,

I added this between pdf_complex and pdf_nohidden but it doesn't matter
where you put it.

This bug must have been there for years!

Regards,

Michael
