If you have something like Adobe Photoshop Elements you can open your PDF's there and it will extract the photos for you. Do it one PDF at a time. The other way (depending on the size of your photos) is to open the PDF as usual. Depending on your PDF reader there may be a camera icon in the menu

You will also not be able to use a pdf format file as a picture file in Legacy. PDF is a document format so Legacy cannot display them as an individual's picture nor print these as pictures in reports. Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation br...@legacyfamilytree.com

Just how much does a JPG 'degrade' when you edit it? Isn't recommended that photo's in Legacy be in JPG format? Does just viewing them in Legacy, or any other app for that matter, degrade them? gc -- Original Message -- From: JLB j...@jgen.ws To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com

1. Viewing them does not degrade the quality of the picture. 2. The extent of the degradation depends on the amount of compression applied. Usually a single edit will not be a problem but continual tweaking and saving after each one will eventually reduce the quality to the point where it is

It depends on the compression … that is, how much digital information is omitted from the original file to create a smaller digital file (the jpeg). . To the casual eye, the degradation will probably not be observable. But when you magnify portions (such as to be able to read handwriting) the

If you want to know that you can try it. Take a JPG and re-save it a few times. Yes, photos in Legacy should be in JPG for size. That doesn't mean editing them over and over. I start with TIFF and convert a copy to JPG if I want to link it. Just viewing them doesn't degrade them. - JL Beeken
