[SOLVED] Generating image of first PDF page in iOS

I have an iPad system that holds a large number of PDF files. For each PDF file I generate an image of the first page (to support a visual index within the UI).

The code I use to generate the images has worked successfully for thousands of different PDF files. However, I have now encountered a PDF file that opens fine in Adobe Reader but which causes an bad access exception when I try generating the image in iOS. The actual document causing the problem is here: PDF document

The code I am using to generate the image is as follows:

+(void)createLiteratureImageWithMeta:(HPSLiteratureMeta*)literatureMeta andData:(NSData*)literatureData
{
    // Used to create a .png image file of the first page of a pdf document.
    // The image is written to the file system, and has a name of the literatureId for the corresponding literature coredata record.

    CFDataRef myPDFData = (__bridge CFDataRef)literatureData;
    CGDataProviderRef provider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData(myPDFData);
    CGPDFDocumentRef pdf = CGPDFDocumentCreateWithProvider(provider);

    if (pdf)
    {

        CGPDFPageRef PDFPage = CGPDFDocumentGetPage(pdf, 1);

        if (PDFPage)
        {

            UIView* view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 210, 297)]; // A4 = 210mm x 297mm

            // Determine the size of the PDF page.
            CGRect pageRect = CGPDFPageGetBoxRect(PDFPage, kCGPDFMediaBox);
            CGFloat PDFScale = view.frame.size.width/pageRect.size.width;
            pageRect.size = CGSizeMake(pageRect.size.width*PDFScale, pageRect.size.height*PDFScale);


            /*
             Create a low resolution image representation of the PDF page to display before the TiledPDFView renders its content.
             */
            UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(pageRect.size);

            CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

            // First fill the background with white.
            CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0);
            CGContextFillRect(context,pageRect);

            CGContextSaveGState(context);
            // Flip the context so that the PDF page is rendered right side up.
            CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0.0, pageRect.size.height);
            CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);

            // Scale the context so that the PDF page is rendered at the correct size for the zoom level.
            CGContextScaleCTM(context, PDFScale,PDFScale);    
            CGContextDrawPDFPage(context, PDFPage);
            CGContextRestoreGState(context);

            UIImage *backgroundImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();

            UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

            UIImageView *backgroundImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:backgroundImage];
            backgroundImageView.frame = pageRect;
            backgroundImageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
            [view addSubview:backgroundImageView];

            [view sendSubviewToBack:backgroundImageView];

            NSData* imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(backgroundImageView.image);

            NSString* filename = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.png",literatureMeta.id];
            filename = [HPSFileHelper encodeFilename:filename];
            [HPSFileHelper writeDataToFileWithData:imageData andFilename:filename];
        }

        CGPDFDocumentRelease (pdf);
        CGDataProviderRelease (provider);
    }

    pdf = nil;
    provider = nil;
}

The exception is thrown for the following line (about 47 lines down from the start):

CGContextDrawPDFPage(context, PDFPage);

It crashes consistently on this line.

The crash looks like this:

Can anyone see an issue with the code (which has worked well for thousands of other documents so far)? Is anyone able to detect an issue with the actual PDF?

Thanks very much.
