Not for me.  It just makes and endless loop of .cpgz and .zip files.  

Maybe it's a Microsoft thing.

I open my PDFs in Ai and extract what I need, and either turn vectors into Ai files, or cut/copy embedded bitmaps, and paste into Ps.

I do seem to recall somebody mentioning an app or utility that will do that on PDFs, though.

A while back, some brilliant person shared a tip about extracting images embedded in a PPT file:

Change the extension to .zip and then unzip it, producing a folder with the contents of the PPT file.

Well… I just got a Word document from a client with a bunch of images she wants me to put in a video, and the same tip works on Word documents.

And they're at their original resolution, and not downscaled to fit on a sheet of letter paper.  Pretty cool!

Thanks for that tip, whoever you are!
