Task<\/strong> – you need to extract images from your PDF files<\/p>\n

Options<\/strong> – you can find hundreds of online sites that can do that for you.<\/p>\n

Concern <\/strong>– your files are confidential, and you’re not sure if those sites are making copies of your files for ‘other’ purposes.<\/p>\n

Practicality<\/strong> – you want to extract images from hundreds or thousands of files, and processing each file online is going to be veeeeeery boring.<\/p>\n

Try Easy PDF Explorer<\/a>, a Windows application that helps you extract images your PDF files directly on your computer.<\/p>\n

User interface<\/h2>\n

Easy PDF Explorer uses the familiar Windows Explorer interface, so you can easily navigate your folders and select your files.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select 1 or more PDF files, and Easy PDF Explorer<\/a> will display the details of each file.\u00a0 This is one benefit of Easy PDF Explorer<\/a> – it allows you to work with batches of PDF files easily.<\/p>\n

Extract images from PDF<\/h2>\n

When you want to start extracting images from your PDF files, click on the Extract images<\/strong>\u00a0button:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This brings up the Extract Images<\/strong> window.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You need to enter the folder you want to store the extracted images in, and provide the naming convention for each extracted image file.<\/p>\n

In this example, we will be storing the images from each file in its own folder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

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

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This uses the PDF file name, page number, and image index on each page to name the image files.\u00a0 E.g. for the 4th image (jpg) on the 12th page from the Accounting.pdf<\/strong> file, the image file will be named<\/p>\n

Accounting_0012_0004.jpg<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once we have set up our destination folder and file naming convention, we click on the Start<\/strong> button, and Easy PDF Explorer<\/a> does the rest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all there is to it.\u00a0 Use\u00a0Easy PDF Explorer<\/a> to extract images from your hundreds or thousands of PDF files, on your<\/span> computer, securely and fast.<\/p>\n
