<p>I need to extract a bunch of images from a PDF file. <code>pdfimages</code> should do the job. When trying to install, I got two alternatives <code>poppler-utils</code> and <code>xpdf-utils</code> so i wonder, whicht to choose.</p> <p>Where are the differences, what are pros/cons of each alternative?</p>
