    Greetings,

    I have to make a powerpoint presentation on a physics project in a few days but a lot of the pictures are either printed off or on a PDF file. I need these pictures in my presentation.

    Is there any way to take the pictures and equations out of PDF and put it into powerpoint?

    Thanks
    Best

    Just select it
    copy it using CTRL + C and paste it in PPT

    or use ScreenShot button from keyboard, paste in in Paint brush and edit image, and use it any where

    There should be something called the Snapshot Tool (icon is a camera on Acrobat Reader toolbar) which allows you to simply select items on the page by dragging a frame around them. Anything Snapshotted goes straight to the clipboard.

    I'm sure will work this method:
    1) open the .pdf file
    2) Double Click on the image (to select the image)
    3)
    -Right click on the image and click "Copy Image" or just press ctrl+c and paste it in powerpoint
    or
    -Drag & Drop (The easyest method)

    if the PDF is locked, your only choice would be printing screenshot

    If the file is a pdf image only file I don't believe that will work.
