How are the constituent PDFs stored in the portfolio PDF? Unencrypted?
Would it be possible to simply use file carving
<http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/File_Carving> to extract them?
There are unix file carving programs such as scalpel or foremost, but
I don't think there is an OpenBSD port. One can try to do things
manually with a hex editor of course. Does anyone have a link to a
copy of the OP's original offending PDF, so I could try to poke it in
this way? (I'm not gonna register w/ UPS just to see that guide.)

NB: When googling for the guide, I found this:
http://aricmackey.com/2008/04/fail-ups-developers-guide/ Not sure if
it still applies.

PS I just did some groping around inside some other portfolio PDF
file, but it doesn't seem to be just simple concatenation.
