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.


Cheers,

Bruce.

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 :)

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.

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.
