Answer 1

Here is code using PDFBox 2.0.1 that will get a list of all images from the PDF. This is different than the other code in that it will recurse through the document instead of trying to get the images from the top level.

public List getImagesFromPDF(PDDocument document) throws IOException {
        List images = new ArrayList<>();
    for (PDPage page : document.getPages()) {
        images.addAll(getImagesFromResources(page.getResources()));
    }

    return images;
}

private List getImagesFromResources(PDResources resources) throws IOException {
    List images = new ArrayList<>();

    for (COSName xObjectName : resources.getXObjectNames()) {
        PDXObject xObject = resources.getXObject(xObjectName);

        if (xObject instanceof PDFormXObject) {
            images.addAll(getImagesFromResources(((PDFormXObject) xObject).getResources()));
        } else if (xObject instanceof PDImageXObject) {
            images.add(((PDImageXObject) xObject).getImage());
        }
    }

    return images;
}
