PNGs in a PDF format
 

How are PNG's (image frames in this case) extracted from Adobe PDFs? I
don't understand this. I downloaded what were supposed to be free PNG frames
and they came down as/in PDF files. They're beautiful frames but I can't
see how they could be used in an image editing program. Why would they be
sent this way? They don't seem to be attachments. Any helpful suggestions?
Am I asking this question in the right newsgroup?

Exactly what does this sentence mean? Especially the 'supposed to be'
part? Where is a description of whatever you downloaded that says what
you are saying?

Do you have Adobe Acrobat?

You need Adobe Acrobat or some free tool for manipulating PDF files as
opposed to Acrobat *Reader* which only displays them.

Actually, you don't need to manipulate them as PDF's. If you've got Foxit
Reader, for example, just use the "snapshot" tool (icon looks like a
camera) --- selecting the image automatically copies it to your clipboard.
Then open up something like Irfanview, paste the image, and save it as PNG,
JPG, GIF, BMP, or whatever you like . . . .

Yes. Of course. That's what they are in, or on the pages of in PDF format.
The site said they were free to download and use.

OK, I didn't know the difference. I never had to manipulate PDF files. I
thought Reader and Acrobat were the same thing. I'll search Google for a
copy of Acrobat, not the reader.

I'll give it a try. No, I don't have Foxit.

Printscreen doesn't work. It can't save one image at a time from a PDF file.
It saves them all as one large JPG. They can't be saved individually with a
"save as" so they can be added to an Imaging program as frames. How can
they be separated into individual frames, individual PNGs?

I don't want to buy Adobe Acrobat just to see if it works to separate the
PNGs into usable frames. I would have no other use for the software.

I've done what your asking and it took Adobe.Acrobat.Professional (I
used version.v8) (torrent) it will strip all the graphics out of a PDF
file in one step effortlessly. My PDF files weren't edit protected,
and contained maybe 25 images in each PDF file.

I have and use Foxit (with all the extras), and you can extract
graphics, but it's one at a time , besides the other ways mentioned
you can edit the graphics (double click on it), copy it, then paste it
into irfanview - I just went thru Foxit I can't find a dump graphics
option.

I had to remove Adobe.Acrobat.Professional.v8 right after the
extractions, as is very intrusive.

My copy
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3556....PROPER-ZWTiSO
Read the replies, it's been awhile but I remember just installing the
program not this B.S. of installing version 7 first.

Use www.Utorrent.com to download, and Peer Guardian 3
http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ to hide yourself as well as you can.

Or you can use Photoshop but it appears only one at a time as well.
