(Given that there is actually vector data.)

I suspect you are in new territory.

There are multiple ways for qgis to read pdf, based on multiple options
in gdal.  I would build gdal with each of them and use ogrinfo.  It
might be that ogr2ogr can read the vector data, and you can put it in a
different file and add it.  It might be that qgis doesn't have support
for add layer of a file that is both vector and raster.
