There is PDFMiner. It also has a Python-API. This can help you searching for images. By using:

from pdfminer.layout import LAParams
from pdfminer.converter import PDFPageAggregator

# Set parameters for analysis.
laparams = LAParams()
# Create a PDF page aggregator object.
device = PDFPageAggregator(rsrcmgr, laparams=laparams)
interpreter = PDFPageInterpreter(rsrcmgr, device)
for page in doc.get_pages():
    interpreter.process_page(page)
    # receive the LTPage object for the page.
    layout = device.get_result()

layout is a LTPage-object, which basically is a tree of all layout-objects on a page. You can walk along all branches of this tree and check if there is a LTImage-object somewhere – then you know there’s an image.

PDFMiner only works with Python 2.x.
