      I had this problem and you can do it on Adobe Reader.

      1. Open Document in Adobe Reader (durr)

      2. Go to Edit Tab

      3. Then Click Take a Snapshot

      4. Scroll to the image you want, you would have noticed that you poiter

      icon has changed to a cross

      5. Select the Area you want and it copies that area for you

      Hope that helps any one interested

      With Acrobat X, you can export the images from the PDF

      Click on Tools, Expand Document Processing, Click Export All Images...

      You can select where they are saved and what format (JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, TIFF).

      Two possibilities.

      1. Place the PDF and adjust the frame to crop out everything but the picture.

      2. If you have Acrobat Pro use the touch up object command to get the image into Photoshop. Save it and place it into InDesign.

      Hi Bob, I do have Acrobat X. I assume (having read ont he net) i can use the  edit object tool????

      Then apply a clipping process to the image in the PDF.

      As always you are a great help

      You could also try opening the PDF in Illustrator. The good thing there is if it was originally a vector file, it will still be one. You can open a pdf in Photoshop or Illustrator by just right clicking it and "Open with", on windows anyways.
