I was struggling with the same issue and changed my code to use unicode 
strings. But I think I stumbled onto a bug:

In the file pdfgen/pdfimages.py on line 130 it reads:

    if type(image) == StringType:

which causes my code to fail because I was sending in a pathname as a 
unicode object.

(BTW: is this the proper place to report a bug?)
