I want to play old photos on my electric picture frame. But I need Bilddatein. When I send photos to my laptop via the scanner, I can only save PDF files. But I can't play it over my electric picture frame. Does anyone have an idea how I can convert this PDF file or are there other tricks?
Can't your scanner save in another format? I only scan in the office on the large device and can a variety of formats u.a. Also save image files if you want.
Otherwise, a primitive method would open the PDF and make a screenshot of this then save as JPG and trim… The quality is of course not better, but for the small picture frames will probably be enough.
Some image-editing programs can also open PDFs and then save them in other formats. Whether that also applies to the free as Paint.NET or Gimp, I do not know.
But because the creation of PDFs should require comparatively much computing power, I believe that you can certainly switch your scanner to other formats. If necessary, simply go with the pictures and USB stick in a copy shop and ask if you can digitize there.
