Dear me... I totally misread the original mail. Thanks for pointing
this out, Bob.
And to the OP, Bob's solution is something which would work well,
though I must also mention another "cheap trick":
1. Open your PDF in any PDF reader.
2. Zoom the section containing your image to the maximum resolution,
especially if it happens to be a vector graphic.
3. Use a software like gnome-screenshot or ksnapshot to take a picture
of the current screen.
4. Use Gimp or a similar software to trim the image.
HTH.
