I have a PDF of a small map and I need the map in some kind of image file. Any way to do it short of printing it and then taking a photo or scanning the printed copy? Did not see any options in Adobe.
Within PDF there is a "take snapshot" but I am not sure what to do with it after selecting the area for the snapshot.
I tried the WIN + PRT SCR and it gives me a print of the entire screen, I only want the the area with the map, not the other task bars and tool bars that show on the screen and window.

MacOS
Open in (included on all Macs) Preview app, select: File: Save As
... enter the format you want in the resulting dialog. You probably would prefer JPEG but there are other options available.
You may want to take advantage of "Adjust Size" and Color options prior to saving. You can enlarge or reduce the output image size in pixels or inches. Although enlarging has it's limits (the actual sharpness won't change significantly) it will rescan the image so artifacts won't be obvious.
In Adobe Acrobat Reader DC,
Edit,
Take a snapshot,
(cursor changes to +)
left-click and drag as many pages as you want. Reader copies your selection when you release the button.

Was going to post something like this too. Problem with screenshot methods - no matter which is used - is it will be restricted to the "picture" of the PDF that's currently shown on the screen at the time.
Short of downloading a program to do this properly, I'd just use an online converter.
