This tutorial explains how to extract audio and video from PDF files.
There are too many tools available on the web to extract images from PDF or for extracting text from PDF documents. However, such tools can’t help you to extract the embedded audio and/or video from a PDF file. Keeping this in mind, I have used a feature-rich yet easy to use free tool, named Bytescout PDF Multitool.
This tool automatically counts the total number of embedded videos and audios in the PDF file and lets you save extract those audio video files from PDF. This free tool can extract audio and video from only one PDF at a time, but is still very handy for this purpose.
