How to edit (re-scale) a PDF image for...

Hi!!!!

I am new to Adobe Photoshop. I need to know how to select an image from a PDF file in Photoshop, and also rescale it so that i can put it onto Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 for a video with 720x576 PAL settings (its for a DVD!).

Also, i have to make sure the image is not pixelated on the video.

Can anyone help?

Many, many thanks!!!!!!

Why bother? You can export images directly from Acrobat using Extract Images and it will spit them out in whatever resolution or quality they were embedded. You would need this info, anyway - you could import a PDF page at 300 dpi, but actually it may scale images up. You know, a 72 dpi image doesn't get better by force-resizing it. Once you have your images in whatever size, feel free to use standard cropping (crop tool) and resizing options (Image --%26gt; Image Size) in PS to bring them to the correct size, which is 576x1050 for the square pixel equivalent of a widescreen video. Premiere will import it correctly and convert it to the video/ DVD aspect ratio.

Thanks for the reply Mylenium!

Im afraid i dont know how to Extract Images. Is this done in Photoshop?

Also, you say the image should be made at 576x1050? I had been doing it at 720x576, the same as the settings for the video. When you go onto (image%26gt;image size) should the pixel dimension by 576x1050pixels; and the document size (which is 4.88x8.89cm) be left alone? Also, shouldnt it by 1050x576 rather than 576x1050?

Thanks!
