[pdftex] Extracting Graphics from PDF

[John S. Dey]

Thanks for all the advise.  I used pdfimages on linux and it extracted  
the images from a sample pdf file.
It appears that the picture came out darker then they had been but I  
will need a little more time to investigate this further.
Again thanks.
