why a graphic pasted from a pdf file into a Publisher will not pri

[Sagit]

I downloaded a pdf file from Marhta Stewart web site. I copied to the
Clipboard a graphic in this pdf file, then pasted it into a Publisher
document. It looked fine. I could resize, move, do whatever with the
graphic. But when I try to print the Publisher doc, the graphic does not
show up, not even in the print preview. Anyone know why? Thanks for any
help you can give.

Could be that it's protected by some sort of security measure by Martha's
company so people don't steal their graphics, er, um... violate copyright
laws?

JoAnn,
The Martha Stewart web site offers this graphic to be downloaded and printed
straight from the pdf file (it is to make a Father's Day card). I wanted to
print it from a Publisher document because I can better control how much
paper or the size of the paper to use for the card. The pdf assumes an 8 1/2
by 11. I wanted something smaller. The Adobe Acrobat Reader Help file tells
how to paste into another application, which implies to me that I should be
able to print the graphic, as well. If you have any other suggestions, I
appreciate it. Thanks

It finally worked. Apparently, I have to use the Snapshot Tool instead of
the Select Tool. They both copy to the Clipboard, but for some reason, the
snapshot tool will allow printing the graphic. I'm sure there is some obsure
process going on here, but at least it works. Thanks anyway for your time
and suggestions.--

In the task bar of my pdf file, I click on the Select button. The pointer
becomes a cross-hair. I then place the cross-hair over the image and
selecting it by dragging a box around the image, starting at a corner and
working my way to the opposite side. I then right click in the image and
select "copy image to Clipboard". Then I paste it in a Publisher document.
Then I print, checking the Print Preview box, to see if it is going to show
up. For some strange reason, I could not get it to print consistently in
Publisher, until I executed a specific way of copying in Adobe Reader. For
instance, I couldn't just click on the copy button that shows up in the
graphic after I have selected the graphic (drawn a box around it.) I had to
right click in the graphic and click on the flyout. Also, I couldn't get it
to work with the Snapshot Tool but one time. With Word, there was no problem
at all. I hope this helps. I am going to try to find out what there is
about Publisher that makes it so difficult, when Word is straightforward and
works the first and every time. Thanks PS Please let me know if you can shed
any light on this.--

shall appreciate if you explain in detail.

I give up - I cannot get the graphic pasted from a pdf file into a Publisher
document to print every time. Every time I think I've figured it out. the
next time I try it, it doesn't work again. I have to keep playing around
with it until it will print again. There's something that I am just not
seeing. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
