As you probably know, all PDF files are actually documents and every page can contain zero or more objects such as raster images, vector drawings or formatted text.

What you can do is enumerate the objects of the PDF to determine their type. You can read more about the types from here:
https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v19/dh/pdf/leadtools.pdf~leadtools.pdf.pdfobjecttype.html

You can find an example code from here:
https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v19/dh/pdf/leadtools.pdf~leadtools.pdf.pdfobject.html

If the PDF page contains one and only one object of type image, you can consider it to be raster.

If you mean you want to determine if the PDF file can be manipulated (append, delete, insert, etc.) using our RasterCodecs class, examine it using the GetRasterPdfInfo Method and verify that CodecsRasterPdfInfo.IsLeadPdf property is true.
