The CCITTFaxDecode filter decodes image data that has been encoded using
either Group 3 or Group 4 CCITT facsimile (fax) encoding. CCITT encoding is
designed to achieve efficient compression of monochrome (1 bit per pixel) image
data at relatively low resolutions, and so is useful only for bitmap image data, not
for color images, grayscale images, or general data.

por si alguien está interesado en una solución exclusivamente iTextSharp, hay este otro enlace (http://kuujinbo.info/iTextSharp/CCITTFaxDecodeExtract.aspx) que sugiere el uso de una nueva característica introducida en iTextSharp 5xx llamada Parser - en realidad funciona. créditos a @kuunjinbo es solo que en mi caso tuve que usar ImageConverter en el resultado para crear un mapa de bits (no estoy seguro por qué) –
