BitmapRip - Bitmap Ripper
Mark0:
I quickly coded this simple tool the other day, out of a immediate need.
I tried a couple of tools but no one really worked the way I wanted.
It can extract embedded bitmaps (JPEG, PNG, GIF) from any given file. It search for bitmap's headers / signatures, and create a new file for every data block that "seems to be" a valid image. No particular things are done to "clean up" the extracted images (i.e., remove eventual garbage at the end of the file); if you want to get rid of that, simply open the files with a graphic tools / viewer of your choice and re-save them.
Can also be used as a recovery tool of some sort in certain situations, for example if you have an image file of a compact flash with accidentally deleted photos.

Hope it can be useful to someone.
Edit:
Updated the screenshot, and changed the sample file from a PDF to a PowerPoint one to show a little more variety in the extracted bitmaps.
Bye!
Carol Haynes:
Have you PDF Explorer at http://homepage.oniduo.pt/pdfe/ which give as nice graphical interface for extracting the images you want?
Mark0:
Nice tools, thanks for mentioning it.
Anyway, the PDF extraction is just a sample; I built the utility to get the images out of any kind of file.
Bye!
Carol Haynes:
Right I missed that - useful idea.

Pretty cool,i created a screencast of it for anyone who is curious about it from a visual stand point.
Not the most exciting screencast,but hey i'm bored and i have to do something with my google space.
The size is somewhere in the area of 96 kbytes.
