Now I see the problem. I'm using Acrobat Reader 4.0, and the latest version is 6.0. This version I have is a free one (or it was free when I originally downloaded it). Unless you know a higher version that is currently free, and since this version gives me what few PDF files I ever download, I'll stick with what I have. I would pay the $299 listed online if that poster were that important to me. If you know how I can solve this with 4.0, that will be fine ... Harold
Regarding suggestions below, I can zoom in and out and I can select. Problem is that only the text part is selects; there seems to be no way to select the entire poster (on which the text is found). How is it possible that only text highlights and not the picture itself? ... (it's still me) ORIGINAL > Is there a way to change a PDF file into one jpg? What was sent to me is a poster (a picture with text on it) with a height greater than the desktop window. Therefore using "PrintScreen" won't capture the entire poster. So ingenuity to the rescue and still nothing worked: > I tried capturing it in parts, matching each part to the other and making each part a jpg file ... then pasting them into MSWord, one part under the other. That works but then I'm left with three different sections on the MSWord (not one part that can be then copy/pasted). > And Highlight/Copy/Pasting the entire PDF file only captures the text, but not the picture part. Maybe someone can explain why *that* happens. Another question is: How does one find answers to this type of question on one's own? ....

HowTo in the top of the reader tells one how to save text and graphics. ... Elaine > > From: "Support-OrpheusComputing.com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Don't use Word, try Paint. However if it's too large, you'll still have the same problem since Paint is limited to viewable screen only. The newest version of Adobe has a "select image" tool and "snapshot tool" that may help. > Try this: zoom out on the image until you can see all of it, then pick the "select image" tool and select the outline of the image (it's hard to see the cursor). Then, right click and "copy" then paste into IrfanView. It will be actual size of the original graphic. (What Elaine just mentioned will only copy the size as you see it on the screen, so if you have to zoom out to see all of it and copy that, it will be reduced in size). - -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
