You can definitely analyze all the raster images in a PDF and get their
format (as stored in the PDF data stream).

Vector may be harder since PDF is fundamentally a drawing language and it
may not be possible to reliably distinguish drawing commands that are just
decorating a page or producing a table and drawing commands that came from
an SVG or Illustrator drawing. But my guess would be that a for a
reasonably-consistent set of PDFs (e.g., all produced using the same
authoring tool or batch formatter) that there should be reliable patterns
you can key off of.

Cheers,
