Can anybody extract a pic from a pdf document?

I haven't seen anything on this on DU, but Chuck Hagel pulled a halloween prank on Joe Biden. He showed up at a foreign relations committee hearing with a Biden for President shirt on and wearing a Biden mask.

Here is the link for the pdf, it is on page 3.

When you have an image you can't save, alt+printscreen copies your whole monitor image on to the clip board, and can then be pasted into any image handling program, cropped and saved.

Hagel coming out saying Biden for President. LOL.

Just curious since I live here and Hagel is a Senator from up north in Nebraska.

You know those midwest states, they all look alike to me. :rofl: :hide:

and we have our share of prejudices toward people back east.

I'm really sorry if you took it that way. I truly got the state wrong. I think I have been hearing so much about Fred Phelps and the WBC the last few days I pulled the wrong state out of memory. :hi:

We're still trying to live down that book, "What's the Matter with Kansas?". People still aren't aware that we have Democratic governor who is serving her second term. People don't know that we ousted the nutball Phill Kline as AG because he was a fundamentalist asshole who spent much of his time in office going after George Tiller and his abortion clinic. And people don't know that we ousted a five-time GOP incumbent from the House and are electing more Dems on the city, county and state levels than we have in a long, long time. Thomas Franks's book helped heap a bunch of crap on us at a time when those of us here are working to make, and have made, many changes.

The Phelps Phamily is from Topeka but the really funny thing is, no one pays any attention to them around here. That's why they go elsewhere. We know they're a bunch of kooks. And we treat them like the village idiots. They stand on their corner and people resist the urge to run them over (not always, but when someone does the legal funds spring up very quickly). They are in the attention business and since no one listens to them here they travel the country to get their fix and people in other states eat it up.

I'm a proud Kansan. Always have been and always will be. My ancestors came from Maine and Massachusetts to help settle the town I was born in, and where I currently live, to help ensure that Kansas would not be a slave state per the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. My grandfather's childhood playmate was Langston Hughes because they grew up in a desegregated neighborhood in Kansas in the late 1880's and early 1900's (my aunt lives in the family home now). Langston's grandmother lived across the street from my great-grandparents. My parents moved here so they could get married. It was the 1950's and Kansas was a place where they recognized bi-racial marriages (my mom was full blood Arapaho).

Right now, I live two blocks from a baseball stadium where the KC Monarchs used to play. Just north of that stadium is the relocated house of John Speers who was killed because he was an abolitionist who owned a printing press. About ten miles north of here is a town where the pro-slavery faction set up headquarters. A few blocks south of me is where William Burroughs spent his last years (and few blocks over is the grocery store where Burroughs took his visitors like Brian Eno, Kurt Cobain and Alan Ginsberg shopping for cat food. I know, I ran into them there.). The area where evlbstrd lives in KC has Irish and cattle trading roots. Each town around here has its own story and its own origins.

We're not all alike and sometimes I get cranky when people from elsewhere lump as all together as one monolithic, backward culture. I understand it though because people around here don't trust a lot of people from the coasts. I blame television stereotypes most of all. :hi:

edited to correct formatting of link.

(don't think these functions are available in the reader).

If it's a multi-page pdf, extract the single page to another document.

Save the file as a jpeg file.

Open in a photo editor and crop out the margins around the photo.

Voila.

If selection in the document is enabled, switch from the hand tool to the selection tool and copy it to the clipboard.

If selection is disabled, you can grab the screen. (Ctrl - Print Scrn) If it's intended for printout, zoom in to maximum size, so you'll have more pixels to work with.
