mutool: Extract all images, fonts and resources embedded in a PDF out into the current directory.

try on your machine

The command "mutool extract ${path-to-input-pdf}" is used to extract content from a PDF file using the "mutool" command-line tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "mutool" is the executable command-line tool.
  • "extract" is the operation or action you want the tool to perform.
  • "${path-to-input-pdf}" is a placeholder that represents the path or location of the input PDF file you want to extract content from. You need to replace it with the actual path to your PDF file.

When you run this command with the path to your input PDF file, the "mutool" tool will extract the content from the PDF and provide the output in a suitable format, depending on how you've configured it.

Note that you should have "mutool" installed on your system before running this command.
