It is relatively easy to convert a PDF photo to an image file try something like GIMP which is available at not cost

    There may be PDF tools of some kind that can extract a photo from a PDF document as well, to preserve the best resolution.

    gasmodels is correct... it would cause some difficulty with tagging... 1st among those is WHICH page (of a potentially multi-page document) would you have to tag/display ?

    Tom Huber said: PDF is Portable Document Format, which file can contain a number of photographs, tables, footnotes, and text which are often common to a published document. As such, many are not easily converted into an image format.

    A couple of suggestions have been made that will allow you to convert portions of a pdf file into an image format.
