Image trace from a PDF

[bbary123]

I have an image drwan on paper then scanned in as a PDF. When I bring it into Illustrator and do Object>Trace Image it doesn't see the image from what I can tell. Do I need to bring into PS and convert to JPEG or PNG? Any other steps beyond that please let me know:)

Thanks!

Hello, bbary123.
Do you have any tips on the following page?

"Bring it in" means what?

Did you embed it? In that case the image should be in Illustrator and all you need to do would be to release a myriad of clipping masks.

You could try changing your scanned output to Jpeg or PNG. In which case you would not need Photoshop.
