Chapter 9. Working with Picture Tasks

Adobe Reader Picture Tasks is a fun and handy feature for working with images in PDF files. Picture Tasks helps you create a slide show, export and edit pictures, print pictures, and use online services.

Picture Tasks features are available to you when source files of certain formats were created as PDFs. Image file formats such as JPEG and TIFF, as well as files created with Adobe Photoshop Album, Adobe Photoshop Elements, and Adobe Photoshop CS that were converted to or saved in PDF format support Picture Tasks in Adobe Reader. The Picture Tasks tool by default is not loaded in the Reader Toolbar Well and is not accessible from menu commands. The Picture Tasks tool loads in the Tasks toolbar only when the open PDF document supports the use of Picture Tasks.

Once you open a file that supports Picture Tasks, you can access options for extracting images from the file, such as printing images in a variety of sizes, and sharing images via online services (the online services features are available only to Windows users).
