Again Fedora 22 Xfce.
It seems Evince lacks being able to copy an image out of a pdf so I can paste said image into a presentation. Select text seems to be the only option.
It was sad when we lost Acrobat reader for Linux.
What other tool can read in pdfs and provide selecting an image (e.g. a figure in an IEEE standard) that I can then copy over to Libre Office?
thanks

Okular seems to be able to accomplish waht you want to do (right click on image, copy etc.). Klaus

Thanks. Got it and working well.

Why don't you just use LibreOffice to open the pdf?
When I try opening IEEE 802.1AE-2006 pdf, it hangs. And it is only a 142pg document.

Ok, I've never tried opening one that big. And since that file is not publicly available, I can't test it.

see:
you can use pdfseparate to extract the page you're interested int, then pdfimages to get the images on that page.
with the file you point to, for example, the image from page 86 can be extracted like this:
pdfseparate -f 86 -l 86 8*pdf fred pdfimages -f 1 -l 1 -png fred foo-%d
which dumps page 86 to a file named fred (I know, it should be fred.pdf) then grabs the images from that page, creating .png file(s) named foo-<number>
all this takes only a moment. or less.

There's something weird about that document, there a number of figures that do not show up in the pdfimages output. here's what it lists for the entire document:
page num type width height color comp bpc enc interp object ID x-ppi y-ppi size ratio -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 0 image 459 164 index 1 8 jpx no 2737 0 257 257 9714B 13% 1 1 image 459 164 index 1 8 jpx no 2738 0 257 257 12.9K 18% 1 2 stencil 394 186 - 1 1 ccitt no 2739 0 301 301 436B 4.8% 1 3 stencil 394 184 - 1 1 ccitt no 2740 0 301 300 398B 4.4% 1 4 stencil 387 182 - 1 1 ccitt no 2741 0 301 300 413B 4.7% 1 5 stencil 387 55 - 1 1 ccitt no 2742 0 301 300 61B 2.3% 1 6 stencil 387 116 - 1 1 ccitt no 2743 0 301 300 139B 2.5% 1 7 stencil 387 256 - 1 1 ccitt no 2744 0 301 301 515B 4.2% 1 8 stencil 387 205 - 1 1 ccitt no 2745 0 301 300 220B 2.2% 1 9 stencil 96 53 - 1 1 ccitt no 2734 0 301 301 65B 10% 1 10 stencil 96 63 - 1 1 ccitt no 2735 0 301 300 118B 16% 52 11 image 670 104 index 1 8 jpx no 155 0 179 150 7267B 10% 86 12 image 675 407 index 1 8 jpx no 259 0 120 120 41.3K 15%
so either pdfimages is busted, or some of the figures in that document are stored/created in some unusual way. I don't know enough about PDF internals to have a clue.

Oh, some more information:
if I open that document with evince, and scroll to figure 12-1, I can right-click the figure and one of the options is "save image".
if I scroll to fig 7-7 (or pretty much any of the figures in there) and right-click the image, I DO NOT get that option.
more evidence that they were created/embedded differently.

They're probably drawings, not pixel-based images. Unless there's some way to mark an embedded drawing, it's pretty hard to distinguish a vector image from any other part of the document since it's all Postscript.

I would not be surprised if the images that are not accessible are from Visio, and those that are were jpgs or gifs that one of the contributors provided that the editor did not bother to convert to Visio.
At least with Okular, I can select a block and make an image to paste into a presentation. So I will just stay with that method.
An interesting look into pdfs.

It turns out that page 43 makes LibreOffice very unhappy for some reason, probably the diagram background. There's an existing similar bug report at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42374 which I added a comment to.

And that kind of diagram is very common in 802 standards. IEEE SA has rules on such things. All documents are in Framemaker and figures and diagrams in Visio. You REALLY want your workgroup's editor to do the work in them, and not give them over to SA, say in Word and jpgs, for them to convert. Unpleasant things have been known to happen. You can eat up another year fixing them before publishing.
How do I know all that? Look at the list of participants. You will see me there...
Of course you mean pg 43 of the pdf which is pg 31 of the standard. A standard issue with 802 standards :)

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 will look into Inkscape, I see it in the F22 repo. But what is a svg or eps file? Can they be imported into a Libreoffice presentation? And then Powerpoint?
Thanks

They are both vector graphics formats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulated_PostScript Libreoffice impress can import svg files, but for reasons I dont know, it doesn't read eps, at least the ones created with Inkscape. Powerpoint (2010), on the other hand, imports eps, but not svg ...
If you want to try the files, you can download fig 9-2 in eps and svg format from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8c1ua34sxv27dth/AACpb_fM3ieiwzvV_OyVxefRa?dl=0

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

It seems Evince lacks being able to copy an image out of a pdf so I can paste said image into a presentation. Select text seems to be the only option.
It was sad when we lost Acrobat reader for Linux.
What other tool can read in pdfs and provide selecting an image (e.g. a figure in an IEEE standard) that I can then copy over to Libre Office?
thanks

I have copied images--actually whole pages with images--presented on Master PDF Editor 3--and pasted the whole thing, with the image, into Libre Office Writer 5.1. So I assume you could just copy the image. If not, you could edit out the text, I suppose.

I use gimp. You are limited to one page at a time, but it is easy to select and area and then create the kind of file that you want.

Since nobody's suggested it, I'll state a crude workaround:
1. Display the graphic you want to use. 2. Hit the PrintScreen button. 3. Save the file and import it into your office program.
LibreOffice is a bit awful at handling images, though. So, you may want to size up your initial display to how big you want it, and edit the saved file in something like GIMP, before importing it into LibreOffice.
