Extract

You need the pictures from a brochure, and right-click "Save image" does not work in a PDF. Extracting takes out what is inside a file and saves it as files of its own: every image, chosen pages, the text, the links.

Extract the images from a PDF

1. Drop the PDF on Filestar.
2. Type extract images and pick the suggestion.
3. Choose where they go under Output Directory: a folder of their own keeps things tidy.
4. Click Extract.

From a 20-page brochure about the Mars rovers, Filestar pulled out 32 images in their original quality, ready to use:

• Files from archives, like a zip, keeping the folders inside it: see the <ArchivePath> tag in Bulk Renaming
