Subject: PDF Image Extract Wizard
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 22:02:29 +0200Sorry, but there is no switch. PDF files store images as compressed (bmp) or
uncompressed (jpg). My program only extracts the raw image data. The good
thing about this is that you know that you always get the full quality.
Converting to jpg would reduce the quality, and that is better handled by
other programs. I suggest that you try XnView or Irfanview, or similar
programs. These are free and can convert your images.
