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 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:
