The screen shot method often causes you to lose detail I noticed. I last night did a comparison as I was getting some problems with a cut and past of a PDF. When I opened up the PDF in Adobe Elements selected images and select the one I needed and saved as a jpg. my image file was 3 times bigger than what I could get with screenshot tools and the quality was better since it was the actual image in the actual image size. I also didn't need to do any clean up and just had to resize the image a little.

Yeah some companies lock the pdfs down though so that you cant do that unfortunately. The worst ones you can't even copy the text out. The screenshot method is always a last resort.

Until you load the PDF into a firefox browser with a PDF reader installed, and then the text can be copied out :-)

Cool trick. I tried it today with a few PDFs it worked for most. I had one that is unlocked and you still can't copy the text and select an image to copy,cause the author actually made each finished page an image which was then used to make the PDF to avoid someone cutting and pasting the text.

Also, I don't think any one mentioned the common thing of an image is used in the PDF but then text was added on top of the image. So if you select the image lets say menu or map you end up with blank menu or a map that is missing text and stuff on it.

Usually requires you to get the text and the image and combine them in a graphics program by making each a layer.
