Extracting Images

ELAN Converter™ is able to extract images from input PDF files, and save those images as TIFF (if black & white) or JPEG (if grayscale or color). This is a special operation only available in Batch Mode. Watch mode also provides a fully automatic image extraction of PDF files.

The conversion works like this:

1.	You add one or more PDF files to the Selection List, just like you would in regular Batch Mode, as if you created a PDF output.

2.	Click on the Extract Image (Split) button:

A progress indicator will pop up showing the progress. When it disappears, the job is done. Your output files will have the same name as the input, except with an underscore and a 4-digit number appended to it. For example, if your input PDF "myfile.pdf" has 5 pages, 1 color and 4 black & white, your output files will be named like this:

myfile_0001.tif

myfile_0002.jpg

myfile_0003.jpg

myfile_0004.jpg

myfile_0005.jpg

The output will be created in the same directory where the input is.

Notes:

•	None of the options on the Batch Settings tab apply. It is not important what those options contain.

•	The file settings that you see if you double click on a file in the Selection List do not apply either, do not care about them.

•	In other words, there are no options (settings) or image extraction.

•	Note that the Watch mode (hotfolder operation) can generate JPG output form existing PDF files, that is slightly different then the option described in this chapter.
