For extracting images and text from PDFs, the open source XPDF usually works. You need the "tools", not the reader: http://www.xpdfreader.com/ Unfortunately, they're only command line. Several years ago I wrote a small program to wrap those for convenience: www.jsware.net/jsware/pdfconv.php5 It's free. I wrote it mainly for a blind friend. The program can put items on the context menu to right-click-extract from PDF files. The webpage says Win7 is not supported. It's not blocked, but it says that because Vista+ is so restricted. You'll need administrator permissions for the installer to set the Registry values needed to create the context menu. For many people that's just too confusing to deal with. If you don't want to do all that and you don't mind command line, just download the XPDF tools and use them directly. Another follow-up post, I've found that using PosteRazor, PDF-Exchabge Viewer and with IrfanView as my associated image app I AM able to export each segment of the poster"s image from the PDF file to indiviual image files. I'm not able to export the image in one piece. I've been too lazy to look up the exact versions of PDF-Exchabge Viewer and IrfanView I'm running or to try any more extraction tools but do appreciate the info.you posted about them. .Some day. . . grin FWIW - it looks like IrfanView can create the "special effects" that The Posterizer has incorporatied in it.
