How do I extract embedded images from a PDF?

Choose the PDF and run extraction. The result provides image files that the extractor finds within the document.

Is extracting PDF images the same as converting every page to PNG?

No. Extraction targets embedded image content. Page-to-PNG conversion renders the complete page, including text and vector graphics.

Why can an extracted image look different from the displayed PDF page?

The page can combine images with clipping, text, or vector objects. An embedded image alone does not necessarily reproduce the page composition.
