RE: [libreoffice-users] [3.4] Cutting section in PDF file?
Hi Tom Thinking outside the square you are correct there are proberbly many apps that could do this along the principle of a snapshot or capture tool. Being a big fan of gimp I will have to try a few ideas that your suggestion provokes. Good advice. Thanks.

Hi Gilles, One thing you could try is to open the pdf using adobe reader and user the snapshot tool to copy a selected area of the pdf and past that into your draw document. I've done this using adobe 9 and it works. But of cause it only works if you have adobe reader. cheers, Bruce. -Original Message- From: Gilles [mailto:codecompl...@free.fr] Sent: Wednesday, 29 June 2011 11:21 PM To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: [libreoffice-users] [3.4] Cutting section in PDF file?

[libreoffice-users] [3.4] Cutting section in PDF file?
(I first posted through Nabble withouth having subscribed to the mailing-list, so this might be sent twice) Hello , I need to select and cut a squared-section in a PDF file. After opening the file in Draw with the PDF format, I'm shown the whole document as a big image, but I couldn't find if it's possible to select just one part of the page and cut a section. FWIW, the PDF was built with Xerox WorkCentre 7345 and uses PDF version 1.3 So I used LibreOffice to save the PDF as TIFF, opened it in PaintShopPro (7), and removed the section. But when I re-open the TIFF in LibreOffice so I can save it back to PDF, it's displayed as a very tiny image (about 1/3 of the original as displayed in PaintShopPro), even with Zoom=100%. Does someone know why Draw does this? Is there a way to do this in LibreOffice so I can avoid the PDF - TIFF - PDF shuffle? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/3-4-Cutting-section-in-PDF-file-tp3121732p3121732.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

In this specific case, I guess that's a scanned document, so what you're doing is probably JPEG - TIFF - PDF. What about adding, in Draw, a white-filled box over the section you want to hide? -- Nuno J.
