Hi Jon, Expanding on capturing it in raster, Acrobat Reader 6.0 has a snap shot tool that coppies the area you select into the clipboard. You can then paste it into some graphics program. You will have to register the image in MapInfo, as S�ren suggests.

I don't know if you can do this with Acrobat Reader but in the full version it's possible. (My version is 5.05) GoTo: Files->Export->Extract pictures as Then choose your pict format. If you've got a lot of pdfs then you can make a new pdf sequence: GoTo: Files->Batch editing->Edit sequence Then add a new sequence that extracts pictures a save them in your preferred format. This is very easy to do ;-) Then in MI you'll have to open the rasters and orientate them. No easy way. I would like to have an option to move the raster around but this is not implemented AFAIK.
