    image capture

    Hi All gurus,

    My problem may sounds a silly one but definitely i need help on it.
    PROBLEM:
    Is there any way that we can capture images from an PDF within the specified dimensions.

    The problem is something more than this but this is the initial phase of it.

    Are you talking about getting the image from the PDF, or will a screen capture do? Are you planning to do this many times, or just a couple?

    The GIMP, or a multitude of other apps will let you get a screen dump manually, which you can then edit/crop to your requirements.

    yeah i am looking to get images from PDF with multiple times (e.g. a pdf having around 1200 images ) and too within specified dimensions (e.g. 750 x 450 pixels) . i am looking for an automation solution ( a tool or an script, perhaps both )

    OK, it seems like there are a couple of options depending on how good you are with scripting.

    1) Manually with PDFEdit tool
    2) If you are OK with perl, the following exists on cpan that may do exactly what you want:

    PDF::GetImages - get images from pdf document - search.cpan.org
