I want to pull out specific figures to include in a presentation. Not convert the entire pdf to an image.
Like this fig 9-2:
If you really want to pull a vector graphic like this in a clean way, you can do it with Inkscape (any other vector editing tool capable of handling pdf works as well, but I often use this one):
- as Inkscape only seems to be able to open a single pdf page, first extract the page in question (e. g. page 39) with a tool of your
liking
- open page39.pdf in Inkscape
- with the selection tool, draw a rectangle which covers all elements of your figure
- copy and paste the selection to a new empty drawing
- save as fig9_2.svg or fig9_2.eps
I got it to paste right into LibreOffice Impress. Of course it is the full graphic with all the elements showing! Not a pixel image when I use Okular!
thanks
