One of the most conventional way to extract images from pdf files is pressing the print screen button, open your image editor and paste the copied screen shot.

Do you know that you can actually use software application to easily extract images from pdf files? I am going to share a tool called PDF Image Extraction Wizard, which is a step-by-step wizard tool to extract images from pdf files.

Step 1: Launch the PDF Image Extraction Wizard.
Launch PDF Extraction Wizard

Step 2: Choose your PDF file and output folder. You can optional input your desired base name for images too. The extracted images will be named ‘basename#.ext’, where # is the sequence number.
Choose your pdf file, output folder and base name

Step 3: If you want the application to process certain pages only, you can enter the start page and stop page. Leave the textbox blank and the application will process all pages. If the pdf file is protected by password, then you can enter the user and master password here.
Specify first page, last page and passwords

Step 4: Choose your output image formats. You have 6 different formats to choose. They are JPG, BMP, PNG, TGA, TIFF and GIF.
Choose the output formats

Step 5: Choose the image transformations. This page also lets you to choose whether want to extract all images, extract small images, or extract only large images.
Choose image transformation and size limitations

Done. You just finish extract images from your pdf files. The PDF Image Extraction Wizard is a shareware and it limits you to extract only first 3 images if you haven’t register. But you could use the First page and Last page method that i explain in step 3 to slowly extract all images from the pdf file.

So, how to you delete those unused hyperlinks? Simply right-click them one by one and choose “Remove hyperlink“? This method is very time consuming especially if you have a very long article that has a lot of hyperlinks.

The second method you may try to paste the content into a notepad first, then copy content from notepad, and paste again into a new Word file. This method will also remove the heading and style of your content, it is because when you paste something to notepad, notepad will only read plain text from it.

So, how to solve this problem wisely? The best method is to paste your content into a new word file, press “Ctrl + A” to select all, and then use the shortcut key “Ctrl + Shift + F9” to remove all hyperlinks.

Simple, huh?

To some of the users, RunMe may be a simple utilities to launch their favorite application. But for advanced users, RunMe may become a replacement tool for their Windows Start Menu(you can configure this through the Settings option).

Users can add any program to the launcher by dragging and dropping the shortcut into it. There are a lot of settings that you can change. for example, you can change the look of RunMe from the preinstalled 15 themes, the dock position of the launcher, the effects, and much more.

RunMe is a portable application, which mean you can always carry it with your USB pendrive. All settings are saved in a XML file. If you like an application launcher with docking support, make sure you look into this application!

Now, there is another alternative service which performs the same thing – Uploadjockey.

Uploadjockey - Send files to multiple hosting server

Uploadjockey - Send files to multiple hosting server

Uploadjockey will uploads your files to 3 different hosting server – MegaUpload, EasyShare, and DepositFiles. The maximum file size supported is only 200MB. Compare with Gazup, Uploadjockey supports fewer hosting server and don’t have much features.

But, Uploadjockey let you earn money through sharing your files. You will earn $2 per 1000 unique downloads and they will paid through PayPal when your account reach $10.

I personally like Uploadjockey( not because i can earn money form it). It is because i use EasyShare and DepositFiles a lot, but Gazup don’t support both hosting servers.
