Default remove interior door jam without destroying it?

Thin, wide-bladed pry bars. Use a pin punch to set as many finish
nails as possible. Pull all finish nails through the board toward
the back side.

Here some handy tool types:

Hi all,

Well, we hired a carpenter to install several interior pine
doors...and
he really botched it. The doors are hung visibly crooked Is
there
a way to remove the jams without destroying them...so we can
re-hang it
correctly?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
