Need a pdf turned into an image

Recommended Posts

Basically, I have a one-page ad we're about to run, and I have the ad in .pdf format, but I would like it in .jpg or something to post here and elsewhere. Is there an easy way to do that other than printing it out and scanning it?

If not, anyone wanna print & scan it for me? I seem to have lost my USB drive.

Ultimately, there are a zillion ways to do this - but I prefer SnagIt, not so expensive and useful for TONS of work. Basically, anything you see on screen, you can clip out any or all of it, manipulate it, and save it to most any format.

Disclosure: I do beta testing for SnagIt but I'm not paid to do it. :rolleyes:

OPen the file in Acrobat Reader, adjust the zoom so you see the whole page, then press Alt-Printscreen. Then open any graphics program, such as Paint which is included with Windows, Google's free Picassa, Photoshop, etc., create a new file and press Ctrl-V. This should paste a copy of the whole Acrobat reader Program and .pdf file as a graphic. From here you should be able to clean up the image to remove everything but the .pdf file.

If you have Windows 7 (or maybe even Vista, but not sure if it's in there) there is a nifty tool called Snipping Tool. Just bring up the file in Acrobat Reader, zoom to fit the whole page, and run the Snipping Tool. When prompted, outline the text with your cursor, press enter and it will copy the image into the Snipping Tool window, where you will have the option to save as a .jpeg file.
