Copying PDF image into Powerpoint

I am having trouble copying a PDF image and placing into a Powerpoint presentation.

I cut the image from the PDF file using Preview and when I paste it into powerpoint it turns up as a black image. The black image has the same dimensions as the "cut" box but the image just isn't displayed.

Anybody have any idea?

Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Since PowerPoint is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.

Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

Hey Matty, Just open the PDF image with Application>Preview.app and click on File>Save As and change it to a .jpg or .tiff. Then you can insert the image.

Cheers,

Glynn - thank's for the response, that is helpful.

I did that and it worked well - my only problem is the picture quality in powerpoint. On a PC you could paste a picture as a Metafile which looked really clean...
