The author usually has them.

One of the basic ideas of PDFs is to give back control to the author. Said pictures are best obtained from the author.

This is not a bug, it's not broken, it's doing exactly what it should be doing to protect the author's work.

Then email them and ask for the pictures.

Otherwise you press printscreen, paste into a paint program, crop and save.

Again, this is not broken but how PDF readers work.

In addition, if you have photoshop...

you should be able to open the file with photoshop (if the file is not password protected). You should then be able to crop and save any photos out of thee file. Make sure you use the save as function and save the individual images under a different name or you will over write and lose your original file. Also make sure you save the images as a jpeg.

As Bob mentioned... the best solution is to get the original pics sent to you (at the highest resolution the originals were made at). Best printing resolution for a photograph starts at 300 dpi and goes up from there. If the original photo is a low resolution file then increasing the resolution will not add detail.

How to save a pic from Adobe Reader…

by taboma - 8/3/07 10:14 PM In reply to: why cant i export pics from adobe reader by dolimite

dolimite, We do this commercial all the time. Get the image as large as you can get within AR.
Take a screen shot of it. It will go to your desktop as photo 1.
Open the photo, crop and save it as you will in whatever program that you have for photo imaging. You can use Paint or Photoshop. That way you do not need the sourse. EASY!

Usually goes to your desktop. Are you PC or Mac? If PC do you have PAINT? You can usually open the screenshot with paint and save it as a jpeg.
In Mac the screenshot will go to your desktop as a .png. You can open it with photoshop or an imaging software app.

Using a PC…

Open Paint and a new document. Draw a image block and Paste in your picture that was a screen shot from the clip board. Save that image as a jpg to your desk top. I have done it on a PC before.
My real system is a macintosh.
I will ask my PC friends to explain it precisely to you.
Stay tuned!

Stay tuned…Here it is from my IT friend in Conn.…

This is from my friend, Mike, in CN.
The man is so smart.
When you take a screen shot on a PC, it is only stored on the clip board. There isn't a physical file that is produced like on a mac. I would reccomend hitting print screen, and doing just as you've described. I would launch paint which should automatically open a new paint document. Once paint is open, either right click to paste or hit ctrl V to paste the screen shot into the paint document. You can then save the file in the desired format.

I knew my IT guy would explain it to a PC user exactly.
Now, try it and you will see that it works for you.
