Depending on the number of pages/images that you need

Adobe Illustrator will open an individual PDF page, then you can edit
or extract what you want, including images, tables, etc... If you have
Acrobat Full v7, Acrobat and Illustrator will work together (select an
image or page and select edit and Illustrator will open the page as a
temp file for editing.

If you do not have or want Acrobat Full v7, Acrobat and Illustrator

A considerably cheeper way for just images, is to use a tool like
XPDF, extract all of the images and discard the ones that you don't
want.
