First of all sorry for not responding earlier.
I was on a vacation and couldn't test the new version of pdfroff script.

I checked it out today with and without --no-kill-null-pages option.
It produces the same PostScript file which is good.  The pictures are
preserved and they show up on slides.

Looks good.
