Image information

[plasticassius]

Hi, I'm trying to optimize some files for storage and download. They frequently have scanned text, and the scanned image is in RGB, rather than 2 color. This can be fixed by exporting the image, changing to two color, and re-importing. However, it's not straightforward to identify which images are causing problems. Ideally, I'd like to both get a list of all images in the pdf file along with thier size and attributes, and be able to click on any one image in the file to get it's size and attributes. Is there any such tool?

Thanks, Peter

Hi Peter,

Regrettably I don't believe there is such functionality.

After searching a bit, I found some free utilities that do basically what I want

extract all images from the pdf:

pdfimages file.pdf file

print the attributes of the images:

identify -format "%f: %m, %wx%hx%k, %b\n" *
