Photoshop Import PDF Mode options

Opening ([Ctrl][O]) a PDF brings up the "Import PDF" dialogue.  There is a
"Mode" selection dropdown which usually contains color mode options like "Grayscale", "RGB", "Lab" and "CMYK".  When I open one particular PDF that option defaults to "SAMSUNG".  The normal options are still shown in the dropdown.  What is "SAMSUNG"?  Is that a custom color mode embedded in this PDF?  Should I be using the embedded option versus the others?
