✨ EXTRACTALLIMAGES(1p) ✨

okay bestie so extractallimages is literally the moment where you grab every single image out of a PDF and save copies of them into a directory 💖 like a lil photoshoot but for PDFs. she's a perl script, she's user-contributed, she's iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

extractallimages [options] infile.pdf outdirectory

Options:
  -O --only=imnum     only output the specified images (can be used multiple times)
  -S --skip=imnum     don't output the specified images (can be used multiple times)
  -v --verbose        print diagnostic messages
  -h --help           verbose help message
  -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

so imnum is a comma-separated list of integers, and those integers are the images in the order that they appear in the PDF 🔢 like the order is the whole point, no cap. and if you don't know what numbers your images even are, go run listimages first to retrieve the image numbers 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

heads up: this one requires the ImageMagick convert program to be available. like actually available on your system. no convert, no vibes. 💀

what she does: she searches the PDF for images and saves them as individual files in the directory you specified 📁✨

the files get named like this:

  • <imnum>.jpg
  • <imnum>.gif

that's it. that's the whole girlboss move. 💅
