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.).

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

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.

Yes, that gets fig 12-1, but.
I was able to extract pg 39 for fig 7-7 to a file fred.pdf, but the

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:

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

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 :)

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:

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:

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!

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?

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.
