### Summary This PR addresses an issue in `pdfminer` library's embedded image extraction process. Previously, some extracted "images" were incorrect, including embedded text elements, resulting in oversized bounding boxes. This update refines the extraction process to focus on actual images with more accurate, smaller bounding boxes. ### Testing PDF: [test_pdfminer_text_extraction.pdf](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16448213/test_pdfminer_text_extraction.pdf) ``` elements = partition_pdf( filename="test_pdfminer_text_extraction", strategy=strategy, languages=["chi_sim"], analysis=True, ) ``` **Results** - this `PR`   - `main` branch
