PDF Image Extractor: Save images embedded in PDFs to file

PDF Image Extractor

The idea here is really simple: This plugin adds a single command to extract images embedded in the currently opened PDF file, and save them all as png/jpeg files.

I made this because Ive been trying to make tools for the TTRPG Mausritter, which has a unique inventory system where items are described with little cards with images of the items. Modules for the game often distribute a printout of these item cards as a PDF, but this makes it near impossible to edit the items to suit your table because you can’t get the item icons.

This is also useful if you get PDF TTRPG modules for any kind of game containing maps, renderings of enemies/monsters, character portraits, or other visual guides.
