How to batch extract images from a PDF

TL/DR Version:
How do I extract the image out of the Type B file below. Note that there are around 600 such files so I would prefer some sort of batch operation.

Type A
Type B

Details:
I'm redesigning my company's online catalog an need top extract the design images from ~2000 PDFs which either Type A (where I can export the images using Acrobat XI Tools - Document Processing - Extract All Images) or of Type B.

I don't know how these were designed or the cause for the difference (the PDF creation was contracted out to some now defunct company 2 yrs ago).

As noted above I can batch process (Acrobat XI Action Wizard) all Type A files but that still leaves me with ~600 Type B files for which I am clueless.

Any ideas?
