paperbackup suffers from the same limitation as qr-backup (za3k/qr-backup#47) in that it relies on imagemagick (through zbar) to convert images into something zbar can grok.
this would normally be a bug in zbar more than your program, and there's kind of a workaround: as indicated in the above issue, poppler-utils ships with a pdftoppm program that can convert the pdf into a binary input zbar can parse easily. so this kind of works:
anarcat@angela:paperbackup$ pdftoppm example_output.pdf > example_output.ppm
anarcat@angela:paperbackup$ ./paperrestore.sh example_output.ppm | head -3
scanned 27 barcode symbols from 7 images in 0,48 seconds
