Each image is stored as an Image XObject. Each Image XObject is in the XObject Resources dictionary on the page (that is, at the same level as the ProcSet and Font resource dictionaries). > The other concern that I have is that I do not know how exactly to > get the text stream that represents an image.

It may be that you aren't really comfortable with what a pixel is and how a collection of pixels are packed into bytes, organised into scan lines and collected as a full image. That is crucial: do you need help understanding this concept, or are you happy with the idea of an image as a collection of pixel data? Also, do you understand the general (if not the specific) idea of each different image format having different formats for the same pixel data? I have to say that VB doesn't seem a good language for this. Mostly it requires byte level manipulation, of the sort done well in C. But perhaps I underestimage VB.
