This writes embedded page images as PNG. It does not produce the same result as rasterizing a page, which also includes text and vector content.
Steps
- Start with a local PDF. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
- Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
- Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat pdf extract-images book.pdf -o book-imagesOptions for this task

Check the result
Inspect extracted files and use pdf render if the task requires a complete page image.
Notes and limits
This is a free utility or read operation. It does not need a paid conversion to inspect the result.
The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat pdf extract-images --help to compare options with your installed version.
See the pdf command reference for the surrounding workflow.
