Usage: sumatrapdf-tool extract [options] file.pdf [object numbers]

extract saves embedded images and font files from a PDF to disk. The files are written to the folder the PDF is in.

You can use sumatrapdf-tool info to get a list of image, font etc. objects present in a PDF file.

You can then use sumatrapdf-tool extract to save image objects to a file.

For example sumatrapdf-tool info -I returned:

Images (73):
        1       (8 0 R):        [ DCT ] 1280x1781 8bpc ICC (3 0 R)

(8 0 R) is object number of the page with the image.

(3 0 R) is object number of the image.

sumatrapdf-tool extract file.pdf 3 will save image with object number 3 as image-3.jpg.

If you don’t give any object numbers, it extracts all images and fonts from the file.
