Christine Animal Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I don't quite know where to post this, so I'll put it under photography.Someone has sent me some photos (of a dog needing a home) and they are in Adobe Acrobat. I can't find a way to get them into "mes Images" and then on to Photobucket. [8-)]Once before when I received photos like that I printed them, then scanned them into "mes Images", but I'm sure there's a simpler way ! [:$]Any ideas would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Christine Animal Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I have managed to "déplace" it into "mes Images", but it's still under the same format, Adobe. [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Have you tried right clicking over the image, "Cut" and then "Paste" into your photos file? It might not work, but worth a go. Otherwise take a look at the Adobe website for clues on how to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If its in Adobe Acrobat, am I right in thinking its a pdf format ? As far as I know part of their attraction is that they cannot be copied !Can you ask the person who sent the file to send jpegs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yes, thank you both, I think that's what I'm going to have to do. Photobucket wouldn't take it as it is.What I can't understand is why people send photos in pdf format then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily print a single page, but not a portion of it. To do the former, right click on the page, select print, and then "Print current page".

Dick Smith Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If you are sending something to someone who may or may not have the same software as you used to originate the document, then .pdf is what you use, or if you want them NOT to use the photos in some way! Not Christine's case.I used to use it a lot to send documents to people, and now I use it to pass documents on to kids - whatever their platform and software, they can read it as I wrote it.

AnOther Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Seems quite bizaare to send photos in PDF.................[8-)]To "extract" pictures from a PDF you can use a screen capture programme such as MwSnap www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html which is free and easy to use.

Clarkkent Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I have copied pdf photographs by using the following method: Arrange the pdf document on the screen in an appropriate manner and pres PrSc (Print Screen). An image of the screenshot is then saved on the clipboard. Open an image manipulation program (Photoshop etc) Paste the saved image into a New template.You can then manipulate the image and save it as a JPEG.

Cassis Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 What Clark says is true. That will work. You lose some resolution but that is not important when posting to a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 [quote user="cooperlola"]Unless they do not have broadband, in which case it is quicker and therefore potentially cheaper.[/quote]Not so I'm afraid.jpg files are already highly compressed and if you create a PDF with them then the size of the PDF will be equal to the sum of the individual jpg's plus a bit for the PDF wrapper so there is no advantage it doing it.For the same reason, other than for the convenience of bundling several pictures into one file, there is no real point it zipping up jpg's.

Christine Animal Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Someone on the forum has very kindly done them for me. He said he copied and pasted each photo into Publisher and then "save as" jpg.I have found where it says under Edition you copy into "presse-papiers", which I suppose is what Clark means by clipboard. But I must be tired or something, now I can't find how to get to the presse-papiers ! [:'(] [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Back in a former life, I produced many technical/commercial documents which I then converted to Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format before these were sent out electronically or on CD to our customers for them to read using Acrobat reader; the intention was to allow documents to be read/printed out but not altered or for photographs in these documents which were copyrighted to be reproduced.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 A nifty bit of software came with our Epson printer called ABBYY Finereader - it converts any scanned document or pdf file to text and image which can be output to Word etc. If anyone wants to go the other way and create their own pdf files without buying Adobe Acrobat Editor, you can download some freeware called PDFCreator.

Clair Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I use CutePDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 CutePDF does the same job but I found that, having used both, Cute pdf files were about 80% bigger for the same document. Still a nice piece of freeware, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
