Extract images from an existing PDF document

This code sample illustrates how to iterate through existing content in a PDF document and to save each images found on every page as a new Image file.

static void Main(String[] args)
{
   using (FileStream fileIn = new FileStream("PackingLightBrochure.pdf", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
   {
      // open pdf document and cycle trhough all pages
      Document document = new Document(fileIn);
      int i = 0;

      foreach (Page page in document.Pages)
      {
         ShapeCollection shapes = page.CreateShapes();
         // go through all images
         saveImageShapes(shapes, i);
         i++;
      }
   }
}

static void saveImageShapes(ShapeCollection shapes, int i)
{
	foreach (Shape shape in shapes)
	{
		ImageShape imageShape = shape as ImageShape;

		if (imageShape != null)//if current shape is an imageshape, save it
		{
			System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = imageShape.CreateBitmap();
			bitmap.Save(string.Format(@"..\..\Image_{0}.png", i));
		}
		else
		{
			ShapeCollection shapeCollection = shape as ShapeCollection;
			//if current shape is a ShapeCollection, recurse
			if (shapeCollection != null)
			{
				saveImageShapes(shapeCollection, i++);
			}
		}
	}
}
