Usage

Use In Shell

you can customize the command named efig in your .bashrc or .zshrc.

alias efig='python <path of efig.py>'

Then, you can use efig to extract images from a pdf.

efig -i <PDF-file>

Use In Ranger

If you want to use efig in ranger, you don't need to clone the repository. I have prepared the class named efig for you:

class efig(Command):
    """
    :efig <fname>

    extract all image from pdf.

    Will create a folder named "images" in the current folder.

    """
    def execute(self):
        from subprocess import call

        if not os.path.exists("images"):
            os.makedirs("images")

        if not self.arg(1):
            input_file = self.fm.thisfile.path
        else:
            input_file = self.rest(1)

        output = input_file[0:-4]
        call(['pdfimages', '-png', input_file, 'images/'+output])

    def tab(self, tabnum):
        return self._tab_directory_content()

You can copy the class into commands.py of ranger. (~/.config/ranger/commands.py)

Then you can input :efig <PDF-file> in ranger.
