If it finds a JPEG, JP2, PNG, GIF, PDF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PICT, TIFF, Flash, Zip, HTML, WAV, MP3, AVI, MOV, MPG, WMV, MP4, AU, AIFF or text file inside, it can save it to your desktop or to another folder you choose. << I have used it for extracting text and images. It has served me well. I use it most often to get the complete, unformatted text out of MS Word files containing lots of text boxes and tables. I haven't tried to extract sound files. There is a free 15-day demo. The program license costs $12.95. A bargain price, in my opinion. This only runs on Macintosh. If you decide to try it, check the Preferences first. By default, it will try to find every kind of file it can think of. I usually uncheck all but one or two choices, so that it only looks for the kind of files that I currently want to find.
