Please, any ideas on how to extract image from pdf in php?
A:
Take a look at pdfimages. Here is the description from the page:
Pdfimages saves images from a Portable Document Format (PDF) file as Portable Pixmap (PPM), Portable Bitmap (PBM), or JPEG files.
Pdfimages reads the PDF file, scans one or more pages, PDF-file, and writes one PPM, PBM, or JPEG file for each image, image-root-nnn.xxx, where nnn is the image number and xxx is the image type (.ppm, .pbm, .jpg).
NB: pdfimages extracts the raw image data from the PDF file, without performing any additional transforms. Any rotation, clipping, color inversion, etc. done by the PDF content stream is ignored.

If you have an existing PDF File I guess it's pretty impossible to extract an image from there using PHP, maybe you'll have better luck with C: you need to disassemble the binary file, decode/decompress/decompile it and find where the image is stored, then copy it.
It's easier if you just copy'n'paste it.

Or java perhaps. `http://www.jpedal.org/`

yep, sure, java, or even python, but I don't know if there are libraries for that.

I believe you can use imagemagic as well. You can send it command line arguments and snap a picture given the coordinates you can provide. You will need to install some rpms etc.
