Can I crop a PDF in PP2007 without converting it to another format
I am trying to crop a PDF to text that I want to enlarge on the slide. In
2003 it was very simple. However, I cannot find any available crop functions in the 2007 format/drawing tools tab to complete these function. I want to try to do it without converting it to another format if possible. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Can I crop a PDF in PP2007 without converting it to another fo
I do one of two methods to get PDFs into PP (same in 2003 and 2007)
the first orthodox way is to go to "insert object" and choose adobe acrobat document. The second unorthodox way, but really simple, is to copy the thumbnail of a pdf page to the clipboard in adobe and then paste it to a slide. It keeps the integrity of the link to the PDF intact. This method I haven't seen written about anywhere, so I guess it's not suggested, but it works.

Any thoughts? OK, I can duplicate the problem. I'm not sure if it was a bug in earlier versions that allowed you to crop the picture that represented the OLE object, or a bug in 2007 that doesn't. Or whether the change is by design for some reason. If you copy the PDF object then Edit, Paste Special as PNG, you'll get a croppable PNG image, though not one that links to the original PDF any longer. Thanks in advance.
