Official support for Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" has ended.  On Ubuntu
14.04 "Trusty Tahr", I can save all the images from the last page of the
document attached to comment #6.

If this issue is still occurring on Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" please
run ubuntu-bug to file a new bug report so that we can get a fresh set
of log files and system info.

Title:
  Cannot save/copy images properly from evince

Status in Evince document viewer:
  Confirmed
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Using latest Hardy, on many PDFs I cannot save or copy the correct
  image (that is to say, almost all of the ones I've tried). If PDF
  image-saving support is so buggy, it should be temporarily disabled in
  the final Hardy release instead that kept there as a half-working
  feature -- at least imho.

  In the attached test-case (even if quite ugly, I just took some random
  images lying there on my hard disk), try copying/saving the images you
  see into e.g. OpenOffice.org Writer. There are a lot of issues:

  * Transparent PNGs are rendered with a black background. 
  * If you try to select the image on the background (the one with the flag), you probably get any of the other images saved instead. For example, try in the upper-right corner of the picture, where you see the blue sky. No image is stacked above that area, neither a transparent one.
  * Then there's the transparence issue: try copying the image in space labeled as "A". You don't get the chest, but the image of the zealot. Transparence should be taken in account and images with alpha 255 on a particular point (where you do your right click) ignored in the z-stack -- users expect the chest to be copied, because that's what they see.

  Probably at least part of this gets fixed by updating poppler to 0.8.0 for Hardy. See also GNOME bug #310008.
  I can attach other test-cases if needed, I should be able to find easily something under a CC license.
