Hellis 0 #5 September 26, 2014 JerryBaumchenHi, I'm a self-confessed computer know-nothing. So how do I take drawing in a pdf file & convert it into a jpg file? JerryBaumchen If you use Adobe Reader I think you can rightclick on the image and copy it. Then you can paste it in any 'paint' software and save it. Or if you don't know any of those softwares you can use MS Word and paste it there and use Word to save it as a jpeg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,304 #11 September 26, 2014 Hi Paul, It is an H-P computer with Windows 7. I also use a H-P printer in which I can scan the drawing as a pdf. Do you need more info? JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellis 0 #18 September 27, 2014 JerryBaumchenHi Paul, It is an H-P computer with Windows 7. I also use a H-P printer in which I can scan the drawing as a pdf. Do you need more info? JerryBaumchen In that case you have a tool called 'snipping tool'. Click on start and type "snipping" and it should pop up as a suggested file. Just have th pdf open and open snipping tool, the screen will go greyish. Use the mouse and left mousebutton to draw a rectangle over the drawing. The area selected will be shown in the snipping tool and here you can go to file -> save as. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,231 #19 September 27, 2014 Hi Jerry, \Start Button\All Programs\HP Scan Use the HP Scan Tool software and select the "Save as JPEG" See attachmentNobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,304 #20 September 27, 2014 Hi Hellis, Thanks; that worked. I have had the Snipping Tool on my desktop for some time. What I had to do was open the pdf, then shrink it sufficiently so that I could then open the Snipping Tool next to it. Then it was just capture & save as a jpg. To BIGUN, I don't have that model of H-P printer/copier/scanner so that option is not available. But thank you anyway, JerryBaumchen PS) Now, if I can just remember this stuff.

BIGUN 1,231 #21 September 27, 2014 Interestingly enough,I used the Snipping Tool to capture the HP Scan Tool dialogue box attachment. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The snipping tool does not have to be open next to any other window. If you open the PDF, and then open the snipping tool it will open on top of the PDF. But that only works if you open the snipping tool from the start menu. If you open it from the desktop shortcut, as you did, you need to resize it or cancel the first 'snipp' then open the PDF again and switch window to snipping tool again.

JerryBaumchen 1,304 #24 September 28, 2014 Hi Hellis, You are correct. Since I prefer to have the snipping tool on my desktop, I used what works for me. So far, so good. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
