Yes it's a great way of extracting images from Office docs, particularly as corporate clients seem to be so keen on supplying images in a Powerpoint or Word document rather than just sending a zip file!

As far as I know, it only works for newer versions of the Office applications with an 'x' at the end of the filetype though - eg. pptx, docx.  But if you open an older file (eg .doc, .ppt) and resave it in the newer format you can then use the same trick.

It also works for the Open Document file format (.odt, .odp).   

Cheers,
Phil

If you just want to extract the pixels from raster images in a pdf, then photoshop can do that if you just set the import dialog tp Images instead of Pages.

Just played around and learned Acrobat (Pro) has a Save as EPS option.  It made a PDF with vector and bitmap into two documents; one with the vector, and another with the bitmap.

Google found this for Windows:

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!
