Program to extract an image from a PDF using Java. The external jar file is required to import in the program. Below is the implementation for the same.
Algorithm:
- Extracting image using the APACHE PDF Box module.
- Load the existing PDF document using file io.
- Creating an object of PDFRenderer class.
- Rendering an image from the PDF document using the BufferedImage class.
- Writing the extracted image to the new file.
- Close the document.
Note: External files are required to download for performing the operation. For more documentation of the module used to refer to this.
Implementation:

PDF before execution:
Existing PDF Document which containing the image which is to be extracted
Image after extraction:
Extracted Image from the PDF document
