You need to have the full version of Adobe Acrobat
to use the How To. This is different than Acrobat Reader.
The Portable Document Format (PDF) is designed for end-use files--those
that will be viewed and printed, but not substantially modified.
You may want to extract graphics from PDF files. This How To describes
how to extract text and graphics in Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and 5.0.
Note: You may need to select the area of the graphic that you want to
copy before you can copy it.
Refer to How to Extract Text from a PDF
document for information on extracting text from a PDF document.
| How
To extract all Graphics |
- Open the PDF document you want to extract the graphics.
- Choose File | Export | Export Images As.
