Line 52:
You can tell that a graphic is a raster image in Inkscape 0.47 if after selecting the graphic and choosing Object > Ungroup, you cannot select individual elements. Also, when you click the graphic Inkscape's status bar will show "Image" and its context menu will have an Image Properties item.
If the raster graphic is the only element you want from the PDF, there is no point in saving the file as SVG—it isn't a Scalable Vector Graphic.
However, Inkscape can give you an exact lossless copy of the original image from the PDF at its original size in pixels. One way to do so is to use Extensions > Images > Extract Image... Another is to save as SVG, view the SVG in Firefox, right-click on the image in the SVG, choose View Image from the context menu, then use Firefox's File > Save As... to save the image as a [[Portable Network Graphics|PNG]] file.
