   HOWTO / NOTES

   TASK: Extract large scale images from PDF files.

   PROBLEM:
   PDF Editor not reading the images

   WORKAROUND:
   Freeware s/w for PDF Image Extraction available
   name: SOME PDF Image Extractor   (SPIE)
   url:  http://www.somepdf.com/some-pdf-image-extract.html

   METHOD:
   Point SPIE at folder with pdf
   Do not set output folder, done automatically and bug in v.1.4
   Run

   RESULT:
   Extracts image in strips, which need to be stitched together

   OPTION1: Photoshop or other image manipulation software

   OPTION2:
   Use autoimage stitcher software, trying out:
   name: XN-view
   url: http://www.ghacks.net/2007/12/19/join-images-together-with-xnview/
   url: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/enfeatures.html

   FAIL:

   Extracted PDF images have overlap between strips.
   XN view is very rapid at joining images but assumes that strips do
   not have overlap
   Final product is jittery
