The Process of Changing PDF to JPG
If you need to convert a PDF to JPG format, you can do so in any PDF editor by selecting “file,” “save as,” and then “jpg-jpeg.”
Perhaps you need an image in only a specific area of the PDF. You’ve found the perfect chart for your paper on the speed of an unladen sparrow’s flight, but it’s in a PDF, and you can’t figure out how to save the image to your computer and then insert it into your paper.
Not to worry though, since there are a few simple methods to bring images from PDFs to life.
Get a screenshot of the image
The Snipping Tool is preinstalled on most PCs, while Mac users can get a free screen capture program like Snip. All of these tools function similarly; after selecting one, you may opt to capture the entire screen or a custom region. Your cursor will transform into a set of cross hairs; use them to select the area you want to capture.
You may also use the following shortcuts on a Mac to capture screenshots quickly and easily:
- When you press COMMAND+SHIFT+3, a screenshot of the entire screen is saved to your computer’s desktop.
- By pressing COMMAND+SHIFT+4, you can copy a region of the screen to the Desktop. When the crosshairs appear, click and drag to create a box around the desired region, then let go to save the image to your computer’s hard drive.
Resources on the Internet for Image Extraction from Portable Document Formats
One option for extracting photos from a PDF is to use a screen capture program. In addition, there is a suite of online resources that can provide the same function.
