Insert PDF image into word doc

[JWS315]

Trying to find a way to take a pdf file (created from PowerPoint Slide) and
insert the image into a Word document using vba. Does anyone know if this is
possible from code, I have not found a way to "copy and paste" from pdf, can
copy and paste from PowerPoint but I want the user to be able to use pdf
format if possible.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Jerry

Hi Jerry,

Open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the slide that you want to
insert in your Word document.
On the File menu, click Save As.
In the Save As dialog box, open the Save as type combobox and select a
graphics extension (*.gif, *.jpg, *.tif, *.bmp).
Save the current slide.
Insert that image into your document.

HTH,
Dave

Dave,

Thanks for the response, I am able to navigate through PowerPoint, however
what I am trying to do is open a PDF file and copy and paste the image from
pdf into a word doc - any thoughts?

Hi Jerry,

Sure, use the PDF's Snapshot Tool. It looks like a little camera. Capture
the image from the PDF (it's placed on the clipboard), then you can paste it
into your Word Document.

HTH,

Dave,

Is there any way to do this programmitcaly via vba code? I'm not sure how
to get to the SnapShot tool in pdf to select the image?

Thanks

Jerry,

Not that I know of. Select the SnapShot tool, then place your cursor to the
outside edge of the image in the PDF document.
Press and hold the left mouse button, drag the mouse button to include your
image, release the mouse button when you have the image framed as you want
it.
