pdfimages, from the xpdf package: <http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/>

While I'm here, I might as well also mention pdftohtml 
<http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/>, which makes a fantastic job of 
converting PDF to HTML layouts. F'rinstance, I generated this 
<http://www.peck.ca/grhcc/portland_agenda_html/index.html> from 
<http://www.peck.ca/grhcc/portland_agenda.pdf>.
