What *is* your need to extract images out of PDF?
Can't speak for der Mouse, but personally I find it easier to deal with
seperate images than with a PDF file. I can use a wider variety of
viewers on them depending what I want to do (including ones that give a
thumbnail overview, just like a PDF viewer usually does), can manipulate
them (scaling, colour correction, threshold etc.), manipulate from a
script if needs be, print whichever images I need etc.
All about flexibility really - you can do more with the seperate images
than you can when they're wrapped up in a PDF file.
At least that's my view :) I'm happy carrying on converting PDFs to
seperate images for my own use if most people prefer them as PDF files!
