Hello

I am looking for a way to extract (multiple) images from a pdf file.  
I don`t want to convert, I need to extract.

Thanks

You will need to start by looking at how to do it with node.js

[https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query=node.js+extract+image+from+pdf&cat=web&pl=opensearch&language=english](https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query=node.js+extract+image+from+pdf&cat=web&pl=opensearch&language=english)

Then you can either build a node around the solution or you may be able to get away with requiring a libary in your settings.js file and passing it to a function node via the globals.
