Yes we know that *.html source is all-plain-text, but that didn't
answer MY question. Apparently all the images are stored as
separate binary files and must be linked-in when the combined
text & images are viewed. So it's not too direct/easy.

My prefered OS [Oberon S3] allows me to just copyNpaste images
the same way as text. AFAIK the images are 'objects' in a library
somewhere.

So does any linux ap. have similar capabilities ?

Yes; any web browser. What's more, it doesn't need any special
libraries to store the objects; the file system does that.

Has anyone figured out how to isolate and save a picture from a pdf
file? We haven't spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, but
the last time we tried, we were able to save an image to the
clipboard of acroread, but we couldn't figure out how to save that
image as a file.

Of course, it is done all of the time. Ask your local (friendly or not)
printing shop. (S/He may tell you something about quark, adobe, corel, et
al. That's a hint, to you Realto.)

If it's done all the time, how is it that you don't know how to do
it? Tell you what, the next time we find ourself needing to do it,
we'll figure out how and then we'll get back to you so that you will
be able to help the next person who asks.

Wrong! Again, as usual! Any sane person would look at the various sites of
the companies I mentioned, above, and see for themselves......but, then
again, I consider the source of the reply...

Now for the thinking impaired:.......Open your web browser of your choice
and google for "adobe" or "corel" or "quark" and find out what that is all
about. Then if you want to find open software versions, I suggest that you
visit sourceforge.net (either the osswin.sourceforge.net or any other part)
and look for graphics editing programs......

Which one of your lazy personalities replied to me, (just out of curiosity).

Wrong? About what? You didn't answer the question so we assume
that you don't know the answer. We'll find out the answer and then
we'll get back to you and let you know how to do it so that you
won't have pretend you know the answer by sending somebody on a
google fishing expedition.

Don't bother thanking us. Just pass the cordiality around.

Thanks. I figured out how to do it with acroread but your method is
better. I didn't know about pdfimages.

LOL, that's because you're a clueless n00b.
