All the images in the P3 manual, other than the "screen shots", are
originally jpg's -(not jpg2000). The jpg is dropped into a vector drawing
program to add the arrows, callouts, etc., and that is converted into the
final jpg that is inserted into the manual.
The screen shots that do not have any callouts are BMPs captured using the
P3 utility and dropped straight into the manual. They were not converted to
jpgs.

I agree that GoodReader is generally better than iBooks for reading
pdf's on an iPad, but Giuseppe's discovery applies to GoodReader too.
Not all images in the P3 manual display on the iPad, and saving a new
version of the pdf from Preview makes everything show up, though the
difference is invisible on a Mac.
It's not every image that causes problems, though, as if they were
created in more than one program and assembled from several sources.
Which makes sense. So, many of the manuals are probably completely
ok, and you will find problems only when your iPad version has a blank
area that should have an image or figure in it.
