How to change a pdf file to jpeg or tiff? Need to edit my artwork! HELLLP?

I went to Kinkos and the salesgirl put my 24 pieces of artwork on a PDF file on my disc. Now, I cannot do anything with it except view it or print it out. I need JPEG or TIFF, so I can upload my art to a website and I need to be able to edit my artwork and can do nothing with what Kinko's gave me. Any positive ideas or information?How to change a pdf file to jpeg or tiff? Need to edit my artwork! HELLLP?
You can open it up from within Photoshop and it will rasterize it so you can retouch it and resave as tiff, jpg etc. as a picture. You can also open it from within Illustrator where it will keep the lines. I am even sure that InDesign opens PDF's as well as art.How to change a pdf file to jpeg or tiff? Need to edit my artwork!

open the file in mspaint.exe

choose save as

pick the file type you need to save it as



delete the original as to avoid confusion
When you open the pdf file, save it as a word file, paint file or psd file (photoshop). This allows you to edit the images.


The easiest way is to use Paint. You can open the pdf and select the image, right click should give you the option to copy the image, then paste it into Paint and save as whatever image format you like.
If you have the Professional version of Acrobat (not the free reader), you can ';extract'; the images from a PDF file, providing that the creator did not put any restriction(s) on it.
If you choose the save as method, then just rename the file when you save it. You don't have to delete the original if you don't want to. Just name the new file with a 2 or the word edit after the original file name.
Try opening your file in Photoshop, and saving it as a jpg or tiff file again.



Remember to reduce your file size if you want to put it on the internet.
