You said it yourself:
"It's text, tables, and a few JPGs."
Both the tables and the JPGs cause problems with pagination.
It might be in the table tag, with the row's height being specified,
or maybe the jpgs are too big to fit.
But if you have the full version of Acrobat, I suggest, you simply
edit the PDF itself via Advanced tools and remove/replace the big
items.
