Try pdf2ps which might give you a "printable" output. Try pdfimages. Try pdftk (PDF Toolkit)
Bummer! I keep telling others about the greatness of apt-cache but forget to try it myself when I need it. Found all programs(s/pdf2ps/pdftops/) in Debian packages (poppler-utils, xpdf-utils, pdftk). It looks like there is a duplication between xpdf-utils and poppler-utils, in my current situation the more the better. pdftk doesn't mention image handling in its long list of functions, unless maybe an embedded image is considered to be "an attachment"?. Will let you know how it went when I try it next week. Thanks very much for the pointer. --P -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
