Excract images from pdf/scan/etc

Post by myspacee »

Hello,
I'm a Windows user.

Try to extract images from a lot of archieved pages. Read about fmw42's script multicrop,
and see result. I'm here to ask if anyone know if is possibile to reach this goal uing IM.

I think to convert my .pdf in an image, then crop single image using script.

anyone can help me to choose right direction ?

thank you,
m.

My multicrop script is for unix and will not work on Windows without Cygwin.

Post an example of your pdf so we can see what you have? Is it only one image from the PDF or more than one image? What kind of background or other things are there in the PDF that need avoiding?

I don't know if this is relevant, but see my post with commands for viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19123
at the bottom.

Windows users should see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/ as there are syntax differences between windows and unix IM and in scripting.

See especially the section http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#auxiliary. Reading it anew I have to correct myself that pdfimages is not only intended for the extraction of JPEG images, but will in fact extract all raster images from a PDF, if it's not protected by an unknown password.

The scan output format is determined by settings in your scanner.
