35.6 Extract

The extract utility extracts objects from PDF files. This can be used to extract resources such as fonts, ICC profiles, images etc.

$ mutool extract 
usage: mutool extract [options] file.pdf [object numbers] 
      -p    password 
      -r    convert images to rgb

Run without any object numbers listed, it will extract all the resources it can find within the file to your local filesystem. It is best to run this in a clean directory!

Alternatively specific resources can be extracted by specifying the PDF object numbers. These can be obtained by using the info utility.
