title: Export Adobe Illustrator images from .ai files
body: <p>I am looking for a convenient way to export every images found in an AI file.  I don't know the AI file format specification, but I guess that if a place a PNG image in an Illustrator Layer the bitmap data of my PNG is still there somewhere.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is there a tool / SDK / API that you could recommend to perform this operation without opening manually every file ?</strong></p>
  
  <p>For the record, I have over a 100 AI files representing product packages from which I must extract every images found in it in there highest quality.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks again,</p>
  
  <p>Patrick</p>
