Introduction

Overview

The XpdfImageExtract™ COM component provides access to the images in PDF files. It can extract the images to memory or disk, as well as simply generating a list of the images along with their size and color space information.

Note that XpdfImageExtract works with the raw bitmaps of images placed in a PDF file. It does not convert vector graphics or text to bitmaps.
