My problem is I am tasked to extract images from a 640-paged PDF file.
Majority of which are charts and tables with texts. Doing a simple copy and paste makes the image lose its resolution and the texts becomes blurry and sometimes unreadable.
Do you know of a better way to extract images from a PDF file without affecting the resolution?

From the XPDF suite (which is Free & Open Source Software) you can use
pdfimages.exe
CLI tool to extract all images from a PDF, or just all images from a range of pages. Here an example to extract all images from pages 33-36:The
-j
will try to extract embedded JPEG images as JPEGs. All other images are output as PPMs (portable pixmaps). Attention, PPMs are totally uncompressed!
