Graphics PDF – How to Extract Image from PDF for LaTeX Document

graphicspdf

I need to include some graphs from a datasheet in my document, but of course I don't have the source files.
What would be the best course of action? It's mostly logarithmic scale graphs.

Alternatively you could extract the data from the graph and then recreate it in your own style. There are several programs available that digitize graphs (e.g. http://digitizer.sourceforge.net/) and in the end this is often the much nicer than a copy&paste and also avoids copyright issues.

Try \usepackage{lmodern}. When you switch to the T1 encoding, the only available fonts (I assume) for your distribution are the bitmap Computer Modern fonts (caveat: I'm simplifying). Loading the Latin Modern fonts will fix that — they are largely identical in appearance.

You can use the pdfjam tool with the syntax

pdfjam <input file> <page ranges> -o <output file>

and an example of page ranges would be

3,67-70,80

to extract page 3, pages 67 to 70 and page 80, and put these pages into a single document. Note however that this will break the hyperlinks in your document.

[edit] pdfjam is actually a front end for pdfpages, suggested in an other answer.

You could also use pdfseparate from poppler to burst a document into separate pages. Using

pdfseparate <document> 'page_%d.pdf'

using the result of pdfjam as a document will give you files named page_1.pdf … page_6.pdf containing all the desired pages.
