This Python script extracts images from a PDF file using pdfminer.six and Pillow libraries.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.x
  • pip (Python package installer)

  1. Clone this repository or download the script files.

  2. Ensure your PDF file is named file.pdf and is in the same directory as the script.

  3. Install the required packages:

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage

  1. Place your PDF file (named file.pdf) in the same directory as the script.

  2. Run the script:

  3. The extracted images will be saved in a new directory named PDF_Images within the same folder.

Notes
