Image From PDF Copy Tip

[Jay_NOLA]

One problem that I've seen when copying an image from PDF is sometimes the image gets a back blackground or gets messed up in doing a normal copy and paste.

By accident I discovered that Adobe Elements and some other image editors can open a PDF and you can get the image that way and avoid most of the image copy and paste problems that can occur by try to copy and past from a PDF and paste into a image editor. On my over 6 years old copy of Adobe Elements for example if I open a PDF in it I get the option to select a page as an image or to select an image from the PDF to open.

Doing that is the only way I found to get some images without having the mess up, color change, etc. that occurs with using a PDF reader and selecting copy image and pasting the copy into a image editor.

One word of caution is that some PDF are locked and require a password to open you won't be able to do this if the PDF you are wanting to open in a graphics program if the PDF is locked.
