For PDF files you can just remove the P7M content before %PDF and after
%%EOF.

The following snippet converts /tmp/test.p7m into PDF, saving the
resulting document into /tmp/test.pdf:

import re
from gzip import GzipFile

contents = GzipFile('/tmp/test.p7m').read()

contents_re = re.compile('%PDF-.*%%EOF', re.MULTILINE | re.DOTALL)
contents = contents_re.search(contents).group()

open('/tmp/test.pdf', 'w').write(contents)

HTH.
ciao,

If the .p7m is a S/MIME message then it might be encrypted. So you have
to decrypt it. It could also be a opaque-signed S/MIME message. But
still I'd use a decent S/MIME module to extract the stuff therein.

Sorry for digging up such an old thread, but I googled for days with no luck.

I have a filename.pdf.tsd file, which I'm said to contain a pdf signed with p7m but is corrupt, or no more compatible with the updated program used to create it.
Acrobat can't read the file at all.
PDF xChange reader can read the PDF contents but can't read the signatures.

How coul I extract the signed pdf from the TSD file?

I can't even find info on TSD file format, so I'm really in trouble to figure out how to handle it.
Could I extract signature and timestamp data from the tsd file by manually looking at it with an hex viewer?
