When the image within a document is compressed with FlateDecode and there is no specific ImageFilterTypes set the image data is exported with FlateDecode compression but a wrong DCTDecode filter name is set which leads to a broken PDF file.

Workaround: Set explicitly the the ImageCompression filter:
PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
provider.ExportSettings.ImageCompression = new ImageFilterTypes[] { ImageFilterTypes.FlateDecode };
