getting image from PDF

How can I copy an image from a PDF file so I can insert it into a word document?

Thanks.

Simplest way? Print Screen.

Use the Select tool to copy the image to the clipboard then paste into word.

Use Screenhunter (google it and install the free version).

Rather than capturing the screen, you can select the area to capture.

I use this app almost every day - it's simple to use and works a treat.

or Snipping Tool if you're running vista.

This may not have been clear

Use the Select tool (that is built into acrobat reader) to copy the image to the clipboard then paste into word.

No other applications or snipping tools required.

Occasionally the PDF will be protected and the select tool won't work, in which case you need to use one of the other options.

It was for a university essay, properly referenced and all that, I see what you are getting at though.
