Help with Picasa 3

[user595212]

I'm trying to import some scanned pictures that were e-mailed to me into Picasa -- no can do! They are scanned as Adobe pdfs. Picasa just says these aren't legitimate picture files. Well, maybe not, but that's how they came???

Thanks
Wendy

pdf are portable document files, not images or photos. Perhaps you can get whoever sent them to you to send again in a img format. Did you try Acrobat reader to open them?

Gee, I don't know if that's possible. I'll find out.

Photolady meant you can see view in Adobe, but you'll still have to ask your friend to send them separately as image files. Tell him/her to send them as jpg's. (pronounce jay-pegs)

Until you get the jpegs you could always just copy the images from the pdf file (though they will be low resolution compared to the original files)

In adobe reader, either use the snapshot tool, or use the select tool, clicking the picture and right click - copy image, then paste into an image editor (or even mspaint) and save it.

This is assuming that the creator of the pdf did not select to enforce any security restrictions on copying images from the pdf, but thats unlikely using default settings.
