Extract image files from older documents

Hi there,

I would like to know if image files (pictures) can be extracted from the following document types:

  doc
  xls
  ppt
  pdf

Please note that I am not asking about newer MS Office formats (docx, pptx, xlsx ...) here - just the older ones and PDF.

Thanks 

- Chris

Yes, use can use POI to extract embedded jpeg/png/etc pictures from doc/xls/ppt. PDF format is not supported by POI, I suggest you to look at PDFBox.
