> Hi,
> I am working on extracting images from a PDF using pdfbox version 2.0.34. 
> While doing so we have our own recursive logic to recurse through all 
> PDResources for each page and within each page we check for all the objects 
> to filter out images. This recursive logic has a max depth of 25 to avoid 
> infinite recursion.
> When trying out the image extraction for the same PDF using the CLI, the 
> image is extracted within a second indicating that the image extraction logic 
> within the pdfbox source code is handling image extraction using an 
> ImageGraphicsEngine defined within the source code.
> Can you help me understand:
>  * To handle image extraction, are there are any API directly provided by 
> PDFBox?
>  * Is there any way to reuse the image extraction logic within the source 
> code i.e is it exposed as a public API?
>  * Any other suggestions to handle image extraction gracefully with/without 
> recursion?
