Hi Jon,

Expanding on capturing it in raster, Acrobat Reader 6.0 has a snap shot tool
that coppies the area you select into the clipboard. You can then paste it
into some graphics program. You will have to register the image in MapInfo,
as S�ren suggests.

Hi Jon,

You'll just have to extract the raster file from the pdf. I don't know if
you can do this with Acrobat Reader but in the full version it's possible.
(My version is 5.05)

GoTo: Files->Export->Extract pictures as
Then choose your pict format.

If you've got a lot of pdfs then you can make a new pdf sequence:
GoTo: Files->Batch editing->Edit sequence
Then add a new sequence that extracts pictures a save them in your preferred
format. This is very easy to do ;-)

Then in MI you'll have to open the rasters and orientate them. No easy way.
I would like to have an option to move the raster around but this is not
implemented AFAIK.

Emne: MI-L PDF maps as background in MI Pro


Listers,

I have set of pdf documents containing maps that I want to use as background
in MapInfo Pro.
Any suggestions for a rapid way of doing this ?

-  pdf -> raster (any)   -> ' normal' registration procedure in MiPro  ?
- convert apps ?
- other ways ?  "dirty tricks" ?
