Yes, that gets fig 12-1, but.
I was able to extract pg 39 for fig 7-7 to a file fred.pdf, but the
pdfimages did not create a foo-1 file.
There's something weird about that document, there a number of figures
that do not show up in the pdfimages output. here's what it lists for
the entire document:
page num type width height color comp bpc enc interp object ID x-ppi y-ppi size

so either pdfimages is busted, or some of the figures in that document
are stored/created in some unusual way. I don't know enough about PDF
internals to have a clue.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
