> The code I was using is `(call-process "pdftocio" nil nil nil buffer-file-name)` (from the buffer visiting the file)

This makes the null device the standard input of the program.  What
happens if you invoke pdftocio from the shell prompt with a similar
redirection:

  $ pdftocio ... < /dev/null

(replace "..." with whatever command-line arguments you need, probably
just the file name).  What exit code does the program return then?
