Two ways
[1] get the full Adobe Acrobat software which allows editing of text and cut and paste of tables and images
[2] screen the pdf at an appropriate size, press the PrintScreen button (next to F12 usually) which puts the whole screen image into the clipboard as a bitmap, and then paste this into your powerpoint. Use the Format | Picture | Picture tab to crop down to the bit you want and then resize accordingly, making sure you lock the aspect ratio. If what you want is more than a screen full, repeat this in several steps and then join the images together. (If you increase the size of the slide image and hold down the Alt key as you click and drag, you can position the parts exactly.) Then shift click each part and use the Draw Group tool to group and lock them in place.
There are other ways I am sure, but I use both the above approaches all the time.
Cheers

Subject: BREAKING UP PDF's
I am sure we all import images and diagrams from the internet into PowerPoint for educational purposes.I am only concerned with material in the public domain or with the author's prior permission. The question is how do I take a PDF to bits so that I can import an image,diagram or table into PowerPoint.
