Photoshop lets you extract images from PDFs.
Every now and then I'll come across a tip that makes me slap my forehead and ask "How did I miss that one?"
Photoshop CS3 and CS2 both let you easily extract images that are embedded in PDF documents. Next time you open a PDF file in Photoshop CS3, look at the top of the import window that normally displays a preview of all the available pages in your PDF. Click on the Images radio button and you'll be presented with a list of all the images embedded in that PDF.
Tip: In Photoshop CS2, the Images option is hidden under a pop-up menu.
Choose the image you want and click the OK button to open it. You can then save it in any file format you like.
