Detect color pages or BW pages in PDF

Hello,

We have an urgent need with one of our customers. This customer, like other customers, process a very large amount of PDF documents. These PDF documents can all contain a mix of B/W, Color, and Grayscale images.  For example, Lets say we have a file TM.pdf and it contains 5 pages. The first two pages are color, and the last three are B/W. In our current implementation the user has to pre-set the conversion parameters to TIF. Our current implementation performs poorly in this case because color images in the PDF are converted to B/W, but the resulting image is not clear.

We have not been able to find a good solution to process properly each of these types using our current implementation. We need to have a way to open a PDF file and for each image in the PDF have a VeryPDF function that would tell us if the current image in the PDF is B/W, Color, or Grayscale. Or at least tell us if the PDF contains Color images. That way we can detect the type of image and convert it with the correct parameters. Can we do this with VeryPDF? If not, is this something that can be implemented and waht would be the cost?

Do you have any suggestions?
