That idea has popped up a few times in the past, but nobody has implemented it yet. Getting swfextract to create a "largest common divisor" file would be pretty straightforward, though. More interesting would be also adding this to the "gfx" python module, so you can both extract individual pages as well as such a library file from a PDF. Greetings Matthias
