How does the Extract Images work?
Extract every embedded JPEG image from a PDF and bundle them into a ZIP. Useful for harvesting product photography from a catalog PDF, repurposing images from a presentation, or auditing what visual content a PDF contains. Honest about scope: only DCTDecode-filtered (JPEG) images extract cleanly because their stream bytes ARE valid JPG bytes. Other filters (FlateDecode for PNG-like, CCITTFaxDecode for fax) require image-decoder reconstruction that is on the roadmap. Most photo-heavy PDFs use JPEG so this works in practice; technical drawings / scanned documents may need a different tool.
