Please see our ElementEdit example:

This example demonstrates removing images. You would also want to use the same method to remove text (leaving you with vector paths).

Finally, you can use our PDFDraw class to image the resulting PDF to an image file.

Thanks for your detailed response @JoeHecht. It worked as expected. Using the PDFDraw class, have only been able to output the entire PDF as a single image.

Is there a way using which each image, or vector path, can be exported as a separate images?

Thanks!

Is there a way using which each image, or vector path, can be exported as a separate images?

Yes, however I am not sure how practical that operation would be for you.

You would need to create a separate pdf page for each image or path, then convert each page to an image.
