If you have something like Adobe Photoshop Elements you can open your PDF's there and it will extract the photos for you. Do it one PDF at a time.
The other way (depending on the size of your photos) is to open the PDF as usual. Depending on your PDF reader there may be a camera icon in the menu that allows you to take a screenshot of the photo. You'd want to be able to do that at full size, of course. It depends what software is available to you but,no, you can't edit a photo inside a PDF. Not in the way you mean, anyway. And no, you shouldn't be editing JPG's. It's a compressed format and every time you edit and re-save you'll lose picture quality. Your photos should be in TIFF to begin with but that's not always possible. ---- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://jlog.jgen.ws/ On 1/18/2013 1:35 PM, Barbara wrote: > Hopefully you don't think this is off topic. > Two questions about pdf saved photos: > 1.
