The way to keep your formatting is to open the document, do an ALT PrintScreen and then open Irfanview (free viewer - downloadable) and paste the screen capture into it.
Then select the actual area of interest with your mouse, drawing a square around it, and Ctrl Y (Edit menu, Crop Selection) and save as an appropriate graphics format that Mapinfo can accept within the Layout. Irfanview is also good for resizing, and even changing the resolution and colour depth of an image. You might (instead of the printscreen approach) use the "selector" tool within the Adobe Acrobat file to select just the amount of the "image" that you see on screen, prior to pasting what goes to the Clipboard into Irfanview. The PDF tool I'm talking about is called the "Snapshot Tool" in Acrobat Reader v7.0 I still find it useful to preview what I have "captured" within Irfanview, first.
