Usage

  1. Open a PDF inside Obsidian.
  2. Run the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P) and choose PDF Image Extractor: Extract images from PDF.
  3. The plugin walks every page, extracts the embedded images, and writes them to your configured attachments folder.

By default, saved files are named {pdfname}-p{page}-{index}.png and placed in the same attachments folder as specified by your vault settings, but this can be configured in the plugin settings.
