I found a handy little command line Win 32 app here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=45839&package_id=40578&release_id=167553

which requires no install.

My wife has been receiving PDF files from a elderly lady who insists
on using ADOBE just to send graphic image files (at least they turn
out to be JPGs rather than 8 megabyte BMP files :)). So I thought of
using a PDF to HTML converter to extract the JPGs. The mentioned
little utility works a treat for this.

For our next trick, we have to pass the images on to my wiife's older
sister embedded in Word docs since she can't handle either PDFs or
JPGs. It's a riot :)

Yes, PDFToHTML does a great job. Especially handy is the fact that
it tries to preserve the text layout in the output HTML...

If your only goal is to extract images from the PDF, then XPDF is
also a good alternative. It includes a command line prog
"pdfimages" that does exactly that, nothing more.
