If a PDF file contains a scan image of a document, you can save the contents of this PDF as an image so that you can then run it through an OCR program that only accepts .tif, .jpg, .png, and .gif type files, etc.
How do you convert this PDF to one of those image formats?
Usually, there are two ways. The first is you can click on each page, copy to clipboard, paste to Paint tool, and then save as an image format. However, this is cumbersome as it appears you can only select one page at a time in Acrobat Reader.
The second is you can print it in a virtual printer and select an image format to save the PDF file in a destination folder. The whole procedure seems very simple, but you should first open the Acrobat Reader and install a virtual printer, which makes the procedure a bit complicated, especially when you want to produce a high quality image file, you have to set parameters in the virtual printer to meet your demand for quality. What a troublesome process!
Here, we recommend another way, to use a professional tool, VeryPDF PDF to Image Converter, to help you fast resolve this problem.
