By using the `pdfimages` command included in most Linux distributions it is easy to extract all pictures included in a PDF document.
Instructions on how to use the command can be found [here](https://www.xpdfreader.com/pdfimages-man.html).

**Note:** the target directory for the extracted images must be created before executing the command, else it will just throw errors.
