feat: add PDF embedded images extractor

[BhakktiGautam]

📌 Closes Issue

Closes #327

🚀 Feature Description

Add PDF Embedded Images Extractor tool that extracts raw raster images (JPEG/PNG) from PDF files without re-compression or quality loss.

✨ What's New?

• Extract all embedded images from multi-page PDFs
• Preview thumbnails before extraction (up to 9 images)
• Download images as organized ZIP file
• Includes extraction report.txt with metadata

🔄 How It's Different from Existing PDF to PNG?

Feature	Existing PDF to PNG	New Extract Images
Output	Rendered page as PNG	Original embedded image
Quality	Re-compressed	Lossless original
Multiple per page?	No (one per page)	Yes
Background	Includes page background	Transparent/isolated

📁 Files Added/Modified

New Files:

• backend/blueprints/pdf_extract_images.py - Backend API endpoints
• frontend/src/pages/PdfExtractImages.jsx - React page component

Modified Files:

• backend/main.py - Registered new blueprint
• frontend/src/App.jsx - Added route
• frontend/src/data/toolsData.jsx - Added tool metadata
• frontend/src/components/Sidebar/Sidebar.jsx - Added sidebar link

✅ Rule Compliance

• No data storage - All processing in memory (BytesIO, no temp files)
• No external APIs - Uses local PyMuPDF only
• File manipulation only - Pure PDF image extraction

🧪 How to Test

1. Go to /pdf/extract-images
2. Upload a PDF containing embedded images
3. Preview thumbnails will appear
4. Click "Extract All Images"
5. ZIP file downloads with all images + report

📸 Screenshots

• Preview page screenshot
• Extracted ZIP content screenshot

🏗️ Technical Implementation

• Library: PyMuPDF (fitz) - already in requirements.txt
• Preview: Base64 encoded thumbnails from first 3 pages
• ZIP: In-memory ZIP creation using BytesIO
• Cleanup: No disk writes, pure memory operations

✅ Checklist

• Code follows project rules
• No temp files created
• No external API calls
• Error handling for invalid/corrupt PDFs
• Works for PDFs without images (graceful message)

Ready for review! 🚀
