Hi :) Ouch! Single images are ok as you can right-click and save them or even just drag them out of the Pdf sometimes but if it's tons of logos or overlapping images then it can be a total Pita. My cheating way was to use Gimp to import (luckily only a page or 2 at a time and only a couple in the entire thing), crop and resize, sometimes change RGB into "indexed" and then alpha channel the white-space and plonked on the page. After a few of those people stopped sending me stuff as Pdfs! :)) Regards from Tom :)
