Extract an Image Stamp from a PDF Using UPDF

After a stamp has been applied to a PDF document, it essentially becomes an image embedded within the file.

• To extract an image stamp, simply click on the stamp or picture you wish to extract from the PDF. A purple border will appear around the selected image, indicating it has been successfully chosen.
• Following this selection, five icons will become visible, offering various editing options.
• Look for and click on the "Extract Image" option. You will then be asked to choose a destination folder for the saved image.
