Topic: PDF Images stacked? how to view in photo editor?

I just received three images in a PDF file and they are stacked. I can view them individually using adobe, but can not save them in any other format. I'm not familiar with adobe, so not sure if this can be done or not. I was able to save them separately, but when viewed in my photo editor (Pixelmator), they show up as stacked.

Do I need to request them in a different format or can I save them as a gif using Adobe Reader?

I don't believe you can do any exporting using Adobe Reader, though you could take screenshots and possibly use that?

I would probably suggest asking for them in a different format, or, if you have Adobe Illustrator or InDesign (I am guessing not) you could use their "save to web" feature to save the images.

Good advice. I don't have Adobe Illustrator or InDesign.

I'm using a MacBook and was able to capture the images using Grab, by selection - save as a tiff and then convert to a gif.

Thanks. 

What the heck is a tiff image?
