You can also paste and image you previously copied to the window system wide clipboard into xyscan. Use the Edit->Paste Image menu command to paste any image from the clipboard. This is an especially powerful feature that allows you to grab directly plots from PDF documents or any image or document browser. In Acrobat Reader use the snapshot tool to copy an rectangle to the clipboard. Remember that the plot will appear in xyscan in exactly the same size as you see it in the Acrobat Reader so try to zoom in to enlarge it. The larger the plot the more precise the scan will be.
