Split to layers photoshop script not working

Hey guys, was wondering if y'all could tell me what I'm doing wrong here. 

I'm trying to use this photoshop script: https://github.com/ES-Collection/Photoshop-Scripts/blob/master/Split%202%20Layers.jsx to put all my individual selections on their own layers. 

 

I've attached pics of what's going on. It splits it into a bunch of empty layers, like over 100, insead of just putting the 6 selections onto their own layers. I've tried with multiple pixel variations in the opening question box.

it does the same thing when only using 1 transparent layer

You have a rasterized PDF.

 

Was this a "generic PDF" where you rasterized the page?

 

You can import a PDF as either a "page" or as separate "images" into Photoshop:

 

 

Otherwise you could try a script that I created to do similar things for coin scans, it relies on the Select > Select Subject command to isolate each individual image:

It is expected that there is only a single transparent layer. Your screenshot shows multiple layers.
