I am trying to copy a photo from a pdf file and use it in a Microsoft Publisher document. All I get is a blank photo, how do I get the picture?

I checked the security settings and there are no security settings that would block me copying the photo. All I get is a picture box with no picture. I have done all of the suggestions you have made.

Hi RJohns,
It could be that the photo is not actually what you are selecting with the Select tool- possibly the image is actually under some other content layer, not sure without seeing it. Try this- under Advanced ->Document Processing select Export Images. You'll then choose where to save them and can access them that way to copy into your Publisher file.Hope this helps,

That did the trick! Thanks for that knowledge.
If there is no security on the PDF that prevents it (File- Properties and look under the Security tab) activate the "Select" tool ( it looks like an I beam with a left slanted arrow) then click on the photo to select it. It should be highlighted, then you can simply use Ctrl C to copy it to the clipboard. Open the Publisher file and use Ctrl V to copy the image from the clipboard.
Hope this helps,
