Sample Ruby code for using PDFTron SDK to extract images from PDF files, along with their positioning information and DPI. Instead of converting PDF images to a Bitmap, you can also extract uncompressed/compressed image data directly using element.GetImageData() (described in the PDF Data Extraction code sample). Learn more about our Ruby PDF Library and PDF Parsing & Content Extraction Library.

#
# Note: Besides direct image export, you can also convert PDF images
# to GDI+ Bitmap, or extract uncompressed/compressed image data directly
# using element.GetImageData() (e.g. as illustrated in ElementReaderAdv
