See my previous message in response to Paul Koning.  If you have to muck with a 
PDF then the PDF should never have been generated.  PDF is an END format -- it 
is assumed that the information and graphics are perfect BEFORE creating it.

If you have bad PDF files that you have a need to manipulate, blame the person 
who created the PDF, not the PDF format itself!

What *is* your need to extract images out of PDF?
