Hi,
Thanks for sharing. I agree with isiomer. PdfImages extracts only rawdata and can do nothing with vector graphics. Also, if the boundingbox around image is lost due to conversion to pdf, it will fail as well. Also, sometimes, it generates large number of empty images. After long time querying search engines, i found a google chrome extension called sci2ools that achieves nice results.

Good introduction…..
but it seems to exaggerate the functionality of pdfimages tool…..i read somewhere that it extracts only rawdata and can do nothing with vector graphics……please mention that too……………….
if possible please explain how pdfimages works…..does it read boundingbox of the images…etc or what……is it doing something to make use of the gigantic dom structure of a pdf document….or some crafty image processing techniques
nevertheless thanks for this great introduction to a great tool…
