Does anyone know how to convert an image from a pdf file to a jpeg or gif image? Someone sent me a pic as a pdf and I'd like to convert it so I can resize it.

Martin,

I think that you have to use the Adobe Acrobat software which allows you to save a pdf file in another format.

This is different software than the free Adobe Reader that is available as a download. I don't think that you can save a pdf in another format with the Reader software.

Good luck

Right you are Matt. I was thinking of a direct conversion but that works just as well.

I'd drop it into a photo editing program and crop the image.
