About Glenn Fraller Expertise Even though I am donating my time to AllEperts.com and I am an Expert, this does NOT mean I know ALL the answers to ALL questions! It seems to me today, people seem to want too much from certain people. I am here because I want to help lead people in a direction I would go. My expertise is limited to Adobe Acrobat 5 (PC) and Acrobat 7 Professional (MAC). If you have version 8 (PC) or (MAC) I, now I am speaking for me only, I would read the help file(s) and research on the Internet every where until I found and understood the solution to my challenge.
Experience Every business day I use Enfocus Pitstop, a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat 5 (PC) and Professional 7 (MAC). Without it, there isn't that much that can be done without the hassel of opening the PDF within Adobe Illustrator. Then there are font issues! Education/Credentials Degreed in Industrial Education and Technology, School of Graphic Communications and work in the prepress field everyday as a toubleshooter.
Question This should be simple. I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard (8.1.2). I tried to clip a figure from a document by using the arrow for Select Text and Images, and also tried the one for Select Object. They bracket the image but I can't figure how to then copy to clipboard using either. Copying text works fine. What should I be doing?
Answer Hello Paul,
(1) Why not just look at the ADVANCED menu >>> Export All Images.
(2) If you have a version of Adobe Illustrator open the file within that program since you are not concerned about the type.
(3) If you don't have Illustrator, you may have Photoshop, one of the Creative Suite products. You could hotlink photos to Photoshop by using the Advanced Editing >> Touchup Object Tool. But before you do that you must map where the program lives through Preferences.
