i would suggest to use:
pdfimages
command is: pdfimages "nameofpdf" it will split all pdf images into singel files and if you have luck, you have already jpg's if you got other picture format, open it with gimp. and export there to pdf.
gimp is also able to open pdf's. but i was never sure what "original" resolution (size) i have to select there to do not lose quality.
and if you like to scan, use Xsane it is able to save in jpg's as far as i remember.
I've already done the deed. I used gimp and saved a png. Hopefully that will be useful to the recipient. Otherwise, I'll have to try again. I had the originals scanned into an ODT file, which I had exported as PDF. I just used print screen to copy to the clip board, which gimp could use. As a hard core techie, graphics were never something that interested me. tnx
