http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries lists some
additional options.  I often use http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ from
Tamas.

I got this error from OSGeo4W too.  The last two lines of this page,
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/408, lists the mailing list and
ticket tracker.  You can ask or report this error there.  Searching
through trac for OSGeo4W, I found this which seems like it might be
similar, http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/408

If you list a link to the file, it is easier for people to test.  I
found, this, ims.er.usgs.gov/gda_services/download?item_id=5954807 for
testing.  I tested with about a four month old download from
http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ and it worked showing this,

gdalinfo WI_Madison_West_20130722_TM_geo.pdf
Driver: PDF/Geospatial PDF
Files: WI_Madison_West_20130722_TM_geo.pdf
Size is 13656, 17407
Coordinate System is:
PROJCS["UTM Zone 16, Northern Hemisphere",
...
...
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left  (  294830.111, 4779306.587) ( 89d31'22.05"W, 43d 8'19.31"N)
Lower Left  (  294317.106, 4761635.933) ( 89d31'21.23"W, 42d58'46.52"N)
Upper Right (  308692.951, 4778904.128) ( 89d21' 8.42"W, 43d 8'19.34"N)
Lower Right (  308179.946, 4761233.474) ( 89d21' 9.19"W, 42d58'46.51"N)
Center      (  301505.029, 4770270.031) ( 89d26'15.22"W, 43d 3'33.04"N)
Band 1 Block=1024x1024 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Red
  Mask Flags: PER_DATASET ALPHA
Band 2 Block=1024x1024 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Green
  Mask Flags: PER_DATASET ALPHA
Band 3 Block=1024x1024 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Blue
  Mask Flags: PER_DATASET ALPHA
Band 4 Block=1024x1024 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Alpha

So the file is fine but something appears to be wrong with the OSGeo4W
geopdf support. The binaries at http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ from
Tamas seem to properly support geopdf.
