Exporting images

FlexiPDF can export images contained in a PDF file to various common image formats.

1.Select the Object tool icon_tool_object in the Quick access toolbar.
2.Select one or more images that you want to export.
At the top right, an additional ribbon tab Format appears with the heading Image.
3.Here, choose the ribbon command Format | group Image | Extract to file icon_export_image_to_file.
4.Select the desired image format from the dropdown list "Save as type":
PNG – ideal for flat graphics and charts with clear contour lines
JPEG – ideal for photos
TIFF – ideal for retaining complex color ranges
BMP – ideal for fast processing
5.Images are exported in the resolution in which they are stored in the PDF file. This can result in an unexpectedly large image, as images in the PDF may be displayed in a scaled manner.

Notes

To export part of a page as an image, use the Snapshot tool icon_tool_snapshot.

To export all images across a specified range of pages, choose the command File | Export | Pages as. Then proceed as described in Image output.

If you are not sure whether the selected object is an image or a drawing consisting of lines and vectors, choose the ribbon command View | group View | Placeholders. As a result, images are hidden and drawings are only displayed with their outlines. Choose the command Placeholders again to return to normal mode.
