[Feature Request]: Add Option to Remove Images from PDFs

[PingLin8888]

Feature Description

I would like to propose adding a feature to remove images from PDF files. This feature would allow users to extract text-only content from PDFs by removing all image elements. The goal is to provide users with the ability to streamline their PDFs, particularly in cases where image content is not needed and may contribute to large file sizes or visual clutter.

Why is this feature valuable?

This feature would be valuable for users who need to manage or process text-heavy PDFs where images are unnecessary. For example, users who extract text from web pages or documents for note-taking might find that images take up excessive space or distract from the text. By removing images, users could significantly reduce file size and make the content more compact and easier to handle. This could be especially useful for educational or professional use cases where only the text content is required.

Suggested Implementation

To implement this feature, the following approach could be considered:

PDF Library Integration: Utilize a PDF manipulation library such as Apache PDFBox.
Image Identification: Develop functionality to identify and locate image objects within the PDF.
Image Removal: Write code to remove or replace these image objects while preserving the remaining content.
Testing: Ensure comprehensive testing with various types of PDF documents to confirm that image removal works correctly without affecting other content.
