How to extract images from a PDF
|
||
|
|
********************************
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before you start, make sure you have :ref:`installed pdfminer.six<install>`.
|
||
|
|
The second thing you need is a PDF with images. If you don't have one,
|
||
|
|
you can download `this research paper
|
||
|
|
<https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/publications/2012/parkhi12a/parkhi12a.pdf>`_
|
||
|
|
with images of cats and dogs and save it as `example.pdf`::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ curl https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/publications/2012/parkhi12a/parkhi12a.pdf --output example.pdf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then run the :ref:`pdf2txt<api_pdf2txt>` command::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ pdf2txt.py example.pdf --output-dir cats-and-dogs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command extracts all the images from the PDF and saves them into the
|
||
|
|
`cats-and-dogs` directory.
