R: Easy way to extract singe images from a PDF document.


While there on on-line and other apps that will extract all the images and fonts from a PDF Document. For most things the simple process belows works great.



Step 1

Double-click on the PDF file to open in Adobe Reader.

Step 2

Scroll down or up the PDF document to find the image you need to capture.

Step 3

Click the menu "Tools" in Adobe Reader and choose "Select & Zoom." Then click on "Snapshot Tool."

For me in Windows 10 I go to left top of page (File Edit View Window Help) and left click on edit to see tools and select "Snaphot Tool"

Step 4

Press the left mouse button and draw a rectangle around the image. Release the left mouse button to copy the image into the Windows clipboard.

For me this is as far as I go. And then just Paste Control V to drop image in  file I am writing or blog.

Step 5

Click "Start" in Windows and then open "All Programs."

Step 6

Open the folder "Accessories" and click on "Paint" to start the Windows graphic editor.

Step 7

Click the menu "Edit" in Paint and choose "Paste" to insert the image selected in the PDF file into the editor window.

Step 8

Click the menu "File" and select the option "Save As."

Step 9

Select the desired graphic format such as JPEG, TIFF, GIF or PNG for the image in the box "Save as type."

Step 10

Type any file name in the field and click the button "Save" to save the image captured from the PDF file on your computer.
