A friend showed me a nifty freeware utility available for Windows called 'PDF Explorer', that allows one to extract embedded jpg files from Adobe Acrobat files. This is useful (for me) for grabbing images from scientific articles and dropping them into lectures.

Does anyone know of a similar program/utility for the Mac (especially OS X)?

You could take screen grabs (apple,shift,4) which would give you a 72dpi pict file. if you enlarge the picture to fill your screen first (400%) then scaled it down in photoshop you might get something printable.

Acrobat (not the reader) has many plugins available but it's a bit pricey, have a look at <a href="http://www.planetpdf.com." target="_blank">www.planetpdf.com.</a> theres <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=13344&db=mac" target="_blank">this</a> plugin for instance but I'm not sure whether it'll do what you want.

Maybe I understand somthing wrong, but: what about the "select tool" of Reader?
