Extracting Native Resolution Images from PDFs in Python

For accurate image extraction from PDFs, it's essential to maintain the original resolution and format of the images. PyMuPDF offers a convenient solution for this task.

To begin, import the PyMuPDF module and open the target PDF file:

import fitz
doc = fitz.open("file.pdf")

Iterate through the pages and extract the images using getPageImageList:

for i in range(len(doc)):
    for img in doc.getPageImageList(i):
        xref = img[0]
        pix = fitz.Pixmap(doc, xref)

Depending on the image type, write the image as PNG or convert CMYK images to RGB before writing as PNG:

if pix.n
