Well, I don't think you can do it on the web, but apt-cache search will let
you. Using "apt-cache search pdf image" I found xpdf-utils:

Description: Portable Document Format (PDF) suite -- utilities
xpdf is a suite of tools for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. (These
are
sometimes called 'Acrobat' files after the name of Adobe's PDF software.)
.
This package contains pdftops (PDF to PostScript converter),
pdfinfo (PDF document information extractor), pdfimages
(PDF image extractor), pdftotext (PDF to text converter), and
pdffonts (PDF font analyzer).
.
To view PDF files, see the xpdf-reader package. That package
also contains pdftoppm (PDF to Portable Bitmap converter).
Looks like pdftoppm may do what you need.
