Extract images from PDF files

Leave a reply

Task – you need to extract images from your PDF files

Options – you can find hundreds of online sites that can do that for you.

Concern – your files are confidential, and you’re not sure if those sites are making copies of your files for ‘other’ purposes.

Practicality – you want to extract images from hundreds or thousands of files, and processing each file online is going to be veeeeeery boring.

Try Easy PDF Explorer, a Windows application that helps you extract images your PDF files directly on your computer.

User interface

Easy PDF Explorer uses the familiar Windows Explorer interface, so you can easily navigate your folders and select your files.

Select 1 or more PDF files, and Easy PDF Explorer will display the details of each file.  This is one benefit of Easy PDF Explorer – it allows you to work with batches of PDF files easily.

Extract images from PDF

When you want to start extracting images from your PDF files, click on the Extract images button:

This brings up the Extract Images window.

You need to enter the folder you want to store the extracted images in, and provide the naming convention for each extracted image file.

In this example, we will be storing the images from each file in its own folder.

 

 

 

We use the <FILENAME_NOEXT> tag, so for a file named Accounting.pdf, all images from that file will be stored in the f:\exports\Accounting\ folder.

For each images, we will use the default naming convention of <FILENAME_NOEXT>_<PAGENUMBER:0000>_<IMAGEINDEX:0000>.

 

 

 

This uses the PDF file name, page number, and image index on each page to name the image files.  E.g. for the 4th image (jpg) on the 12th page from the Accounting.pdf file, the image file will be named

Accounting_0012_0004.jpg

Once we have set up our destination folder and file naming convention, we click on the Start button, and Easy PDF Explorer does the rest.

And that’s all there is to it.  Use Easy PDF Explorer to extract images from your hundreds or thousands of PDF files, on your computer, securely and fast.

Task – you need to split a PDF file or extract certain pages from a PDF file.

Options – you can find hundreds of online sites that can do that for you.

Concern – your files are confidential, and you’re not sure if those sites are making copies of your files for ‘other’ purposes.

Practicality – you want to split hundreds or thousands of files, and splitting each file online is going to be veeeeeery boring.

Try Easy PDF Explorer, a Windows application that helps you split your PDF files directly on your computer.

Splitting PDFs

When you want to start splitting or extracting pages from your PDF files, click on the Extract pages button:

This brings up the Extract Pages window.

You need to enter the folder you want to store the extracted pages in, the file naming convention, and the pages to extract.

You can specify exactly which pages to extract e.g. if you want to extract the page 1 and 10, simply enter the details like this:

 

 

 

If you want to extract the first 5 pages, enter it like this:

 

 

 

To extract the first 5 pages and page 10, enter it like this:

 

 

 

You can enter as many ‘groups’ of pages to extract as you require.  Just separate each group using a comma symbol.

What if you don’t know the number of pages the files have, and just want to extract the last 5 pages every time?  Use the <LAST> tag this way:

 

 

 

In this way, you don’t need to specify the exact page numbers to extract.  Easy PDF Explorer will always just extract the last 3 pages.

Creating the ‘other’ file

So far, we’ve showed you how to extract specific pages from your files.  What if you want to split a file i.e. extract the specific pages to one file, and the rest of the pages to another file?

Simple.  Just select the Extract remaining pages to another file item, and enter a naming convention for this file.

 

 

 

 

The pages you chose to extract will be saved in one file, and the remaining pages will be saved to another file.

And that’s all there is to it.  Use Easy PDF Explorer to extract or split pages from your hundreds or thousands of PDF files, on your computer, securely and fast.

We enter the folder we want to store the exported images in, and also the naming convention for the image files.  In this example, we will use the PDF file name without the extension, and append the page number.  In this way, for a PDF file named contract.pdf, the exported pages will be named

  • contract_0001.jpg
  • contract_0002.jpg
  • contract_0003.jpg
  • …

You can easily modify the naming convention to suit your needs.  In addition to the JPEG format, you can also export your pages as PNG or BMP files.

You can provide multiple values for the page numbers.  For e.g. to export the first 3 and last 3 pages, we will enter the following:
