Re: [Gimp-user] (preferably Linux-based, OS) utility to extract images from image-based pdf files ...

[Guy Stalnaker <jimmyg521 gmail com>]

Albretch,

This will likely be a two-step process:

1. Extract page images from pdf using a tool such at the one you indicate.
2. Extract subpage components from separate image files, using a tool such
as: https://opensource.com/article/18/5/getting-started-luminoth

Linux terminals makes such processing rather easy.

NOTE that I have not personally used a tool like luminoth so I cannot
comment on its accuracy, but its website pages suggest it may have the
capability to do what you want (well, using the example document you
provided and the examples shown on its website).

Good luck!
