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. Cheers, Bruce. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Davies [mailto:tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, 30 June 2011 3:11 PM To: users@global.libreoffice.org Cc: codecompl...@free.fr Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] [3.4] Cutting section in PDF file? Hi :) Other pdf readers are likely to have a snapshot tool. Jpg is lossy but png has lossless compression. I'm not sure how bad PaintShop Pro is. There are a few really awful ones starting with "Paint". You might like to try Gimp which has similar t&cs to LibreOffice http://www.gimp.org/windows/ Gnu Image Manipulation Program Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Bruce Carlson <br...@grahamgroup.com.au> To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Thu, 30 June, 2011 5:58:17 Subject: RE: [libreoffice-users] [3.4] Cutting section in PDF file? 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? 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 Alternatively, I could save the document as JPG and doctor it in eg. PaintShopPro, but it's lossy. Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/3-4-Cutting-section-in-PDF-file-tp31215 75p3121575.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 -- 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 -- 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 -- 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
