Description

Please explain your intent
I want to be able to extract specific image(s) from a pdf. The current extract-images option extracts all the images.

Describe the solution you'd like
In the same extract-images command, an argument with --from and --end could specify the range.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing extract-images command and its argument parsing and tests. Check how page ranges are represented, then make the requested --from and --end range limit extraction to images from the selected pages; done means the command still extracts all images by default and only the requested pages when supplied.
