A followup to the last post. For extracting images
and text from PDFs, the open source XPDF usually
works. You need the "tools", not the reader:

http://www.xpdfreader.com/

Unfortunately, they're only command line. Several
years ago I wrote a small program to wrap those
for convenience:

www.jsware.net/jsware/pdfconv.php5

It's free. I wrote it mainly for a blind friend. The
program can put items on the context menu to
right-click-extract from PDF files. The webpage says
Win7 is not supported. It's not blocked, but it
says that because Vista+ is so restricted. You'll
need administrator permissions for the installer
to set the Registry values needed to create the
context menu. For many people that's just too
confusing to deal with.

If you don't want to do all that and you don't
mind command line, just download the XPDF tools
and use them directly.
