I use IrfanView as simple image manipulation software, which you can download free off the Internet. If you have Windows, Paint comes free with that (look it up on Help if you don't see it under Programs/Accessories). Both will easily allow you to reduce photos, as will many other free programs, others of which also come with Windows for free. Here is a link that might be useful: IrfanView

here's one way: right-click (on the image), then "copy" right-click, "paste" (in the document, so first put the cursor on the line you want it) after the image appears, click it once, then right-click it, then "size, or sizing" in the menu, and use that dialog box to make changes. (It's easier than reading this.)

Open Office has an option to export to a PDF. And there are also pdf printer drivers such as cute pdf writer that create pdf for you (just "print the document, select Cute PDF as the printer and give it a file name). There are other pdf printer drivers, but at the time I found Cute PDF (about 10 years ago, I think) most of the others created watermarks or popped up ads every time you used them.

Adobe is a corporation, not a product or a file format. PDF, which you states in the subject correctly, means "Portable Document Format" - it is the file format created by Adobe's Acrobat software (and many other programs since Adobe publishes the PDF specification). That file format is actually a meta format of sorts and can contain all sorts of information in it, including illustration file formats, text as well as bitmap graphics in various image formats. You can upload any file to a web host or file hosting service. Not all file types will display in someone's browser and certainly not all files will display inline on one of these forum messages. If you want to just include a text link to the file you can insert a standard HTML anchor tag pointing to the hosted file or you can use the "Optional Link URL" feature included at the bottom of the posting/edit box. If you would like an image to appear inside your post then you should send up a file in a format that will display properly in the majority of people's web browsers and can be used with the HTML "img" tag. Definitely not a TIFF. A JPEG or PNG is recommended. Depending on what software you're using to view or edit PDF files on your computer you may be able to Save or Export the images you want out of the file. Otherwise one very easy way is to do a screen or window capture while viewing the file. The resulting image can then be cropped if needed (to remove any desktop/window graphics that don't belong in the original photo). If this is all Greek to you, you might be better off just uploading the PDF as first mentioned and including its URL in the "Optional Link URL" below. As long as someone has a PDF plugin or viewer they'll be able to view it. Then maybe someone will be nice enough to strip out the pictures you want out of the file. If I see this thread again and you've uploaded the file I can do it if you'd like. Bruno
