Sure. Hold down the ALT key and press the Print Screen key at the same time. Go into your photo editing program and paste as a new image. That will take a screen shot of your open window. Now with your photo editing program cut and crop the image out of the screen shot.

There is no "PDF format" for pictures. PDF uses JPG, JPG2000, TIF, and others within its format.

The PDF can be edited with Acrobat Standard or Professional under most circumstances (yes, there's a cost). However, the originator of the file can disallow any editing and require a password to make changes.

acrobat reader has a tool that you can select the area you want then copy and paste it into paint or photoshop...

Since I'm having similar problem, I will ask the question here as well: How about converting Excel graphs into JPEG or other image-format file?

I use a long procedure: copy from Excel and paste it to Photoshop, and then save it in image format. Sometimes, I don't like the quality of the result (blurr, or cut at the end) I have to use even more steps: make it into a PDF file, use PDF-Word converter, then copy-paste into Photoshop. If anybody could tell me how to do it more efficiently, it would be appreciate.
