Even experienced PDF-orientated applications, like Ghostscript,
are have problems with PDF layers.

I had a similar problem in the past. I ended up unpacking the PDF
to an editable text-only format and removed the objects manually.

Maybe you can find someone with Acrobat PDF (the editor one), who
can fix the files for you?
