Default Help removing a chart from a PDF file ???

I have a PDF file that is saved to my computer. I am trying to put together a report and would like to add some of the charts and graphs from the PDF but I can not seem to find a way to grab graphs from the file. Is there anyway to remove these images from a PDF? (Not trying to steal work will site sources etc.)

Short of doing screen prints you'll have to find a tool that will allow editing of a PDF.

Change the hand cursor to the select cursor. It will allow you copy sections of the PDF if it was made electronically and not by scanning an image. If you need to make PDFs look around on Source Forge, there are programs that "print" files into a PDF file.

See if you can download a trial of Adobe Acrobat (not acrobat reader)

Or you could try foxit pdf creator.

You could use an app like pdf2ps to convert it to a postscript file, and then open it in a decent image editor like Photoshop.
