The PDFs are text only (white text on transparent background). I made them using the FPDF, which was
tedious to set up but works great. I've since learned that I need PNG images, not PDFs. I know
that I could rebuild them using GD, but it's a lot of strings of text wrapping and formatting
and that would be the long, long way around.
I've put in a request to see about getting ImageMagick/Ghostscript installed... see how that
goes.
