Subject description: No commandline tools, please.		  
After 2 days of searching unsuccessfully for a Linux prog to extract images from PDF files, (NOT convert PDF to image)
I grabbed what appeared to be the best 3 Windoze apps available:
pdf_image_extraction_wizard
bex23
pdfedittools.

Unbelievable! I have never seen such shitty apps in my life.
Is this the trend for Winapps today?

Can anyone point me to a Linux prog, PLEASE?

So it sounds to me like they are fundamentally opposed to DRM:

Of course, that could be taken to the extreme. Gmail, Google Earth, and Street View are already starting to poke some people. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a long-term plan to create a mind-reading data-collector, like this:

Except the Google version would be more stylish, easier to use, and include a search option and a Pig-Latin translation.

thanks Flash and PG.
It is messier than using pdfripimage, from xpdf-utils, which, altho being a console tool is easy to use and works perfectly.

There is a Gnome GUI frontend available (Pdfripimages), but that entails installing most of Gnome. Not worth it for one utility.

still looking.
