One of the members on the Fantasy Grounds forum made a PDF image extractor. when you run it it extracts all the images from a PDF into a single folder. You can download it it from the first post in the link.

It still doesn't get transparency right.

The horror of the wrong transparency
The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back. |

This seems to be working pretty good so far.
http://www.pdfmate.com/pdf-converter-free.html The instructions for extracting images are at the bottom of this page: http://www.pdfmate.com/how-to-extrac...pdf-files.html It doesn't appear to be preserving transparency, but at least it's converting the transparency to white instead of black. So far, anyway. |

LibreOffice is able to open PDF files, and it allows you to copy and paste images while preserving transparency.

How do these handle Maps from Pathfinder PDF's? I haven't seen a free tool yet that properly extract these (as they are stored on a "button" and have up to 4 copies of the map per button to handle gm/player/grid options) and keep original resolutions with transparencies.
I'll have to check LibreOffice though, haven't tried that yet... -Jamz RPTools.net | MapTool Discord Invite Download Latest MapTool Release | Download Latest TokenTool Release |

Copying images while maintaining the transparency is glorious! I've been looking for such a solution for a very long time.
The only thing that would be better would be something that automated the process and maintained the transparency. Thanks for the LibreOffice tip EightBitz! |
