Tips & Tricks: Extract and Edit Images from a PDF

Ever get a PDF file and need to edit one of the photos in it. Maybe you need to use a photo for another project but the only place you can find that photo is embedded into a PDF. Well this tutorial video will help you with both of those scenarios.

Adobe has linked all their software together in really great ways that let you take parts of one document and open them in another all dynamically linked. It's pretty cool and super easy. This video shows how to easily select part of a PDF document in Adobe Acrobat and then open it up in Adobe Photoshop. From there you can save the image and have it automatically update in the PDF or you can save the image as to whatever format you want and put it in a new location to use on a different project.

so in this video we're going to go over
how to edit images that are already
embedded into a PDF the example we have
here is just an example file here with a
few images that were placed in this
document was created in indesign and now
i need to make this photo
black-and-white or edit this photo so
whatever we need to do we'll go ahead
and open up this PDF and acrobat and if
you look we've got our PDF already with
these embedded photos what you can do is
click tools edit text and images and
then when you go and select either of
these images
let's say this one for example we need
it black and white if you right click go
down to edit using an adobe photoshop go
ahead and click yes on that warning
window it will open out this embedded
file in there and we can go to image
let's say we want to change it the color
mode to grayscale go ahead and click OK
and then if we close out of this
document and click save it should
automatically update in that PDF so now
we've got our PDF with the updated
graphics in there or this image will go
edit using so right click on your image
edit using adobe photoshop click yes on
the warning
let's say this this image we need to
make sure this baby has glasses on so
we'll go ahead and just draw some
awesome glasses on this baby
and
go file save and you can see it just
automatically updated in my document so
this is a great way if you get it sent a
PDF or you have to in a pinch editor PDF
obviously you don't want to do this all
the time you want to edit your original
image and if you have access to the
indesign files and to go back and
actually do that there but this is one
of those things where sometimes you
don't have that luxury and you have to
edit an image directly from a PDF this
is a great way to do that and also if
you maybe you need to pull an image you
can always do the Edit image open it up
in photoshop and then save it as a JPEG
so it's a great way to pull images from
pdfs as well
