When I read some electronic version of books or magazines, occasionally I find some interesting pictures that I want to collect. In addition to the most commonly used approach of making screenshots, if they exist in a PDF file, we have a better method - Using software to extract them out. This comes with two benefits: First, the extracted image is complete (including definition); Second, the operation is simpler and more efficient.

PDF-Tools is a toolkit that contains a variety of PDF processing tools. The functions of all built-in tools are generally divided into three aspects: Create PDF file from scratch or from other document formats (namely format conversion, such as direct scan images save as PDF file, convert images and/or text to a PDF file, etc.); Edit the existing PDF document, including add, modify, or extract content; Other PDF file related operations, such like split/merge, extract a single page, bookmark management, and so on.

BTW, PDF-Tools and the popular PDF viewer - PDF-XChange Viewer has the same developer - Tracker Software Products from UK. And AppNee found PDF-Tools by searching for "extract image from PDF file". This is why I took this feature as the subhead of introducing PDF-Tools in short.
