How to Extract Images from PDF Documents in Original Resolution
Executive Summary

Need to extract full-resolution photos, charts, or diagrams embedded inside a PDF file without taking low-quality screenshots? Here is how.

Why Screenshots Hurt Image Quality

Taking a screenshot of a PDF page captures only screen display resolution (72 or 96 DPI), resulting in blurry pixelation when zoomed or printed. Using an automated image extraction parser extracts the raw, uncompressed source JPEG or PNG file embedded within the PDF object structure at full native resolution.
