[Web4lib] Extracting images from PDF?

[Robert Sullivan]

A local labor organization had some old newsletters scanned and
presented us with 4 CDs of PDFs, with each issue a separate file.

This would be great, except that they were scanned from a bound volume
2 pages at a time, so any given file will contain the last page of the
previous issue and be missing the last page of the issue named.  This
portends some amount of patron confusion.

I'm considering trying to take these images apart and reassemble them
in a more useful way.  We have Acrobat 7, but our graphics staff uses
it at a fairly low level so they can't help me.  I have found
references to software which will let you save images form PDFs as
TIFFs, but I was hoping for some real world experience.

Thanks for any advice on the least painful way to handle this,
