Hi,

I'm a self-confessed computer know-nothing.

So how do I take drawing in a pdf file & convert it into a jpg file?

I'm just hoping he doesn't say "square" and "keyboard".

Naw, it's probably a Commodore or Atari

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.

here's an easy solution, all on-line so no need to install anything, and its free

Just click the "Choose a PDF file" button and then click the "Convert" button

I use this.
It adds the .pdf writer as a printer option.

Just watch the other stuff it tries to install during the download.

I'm pretty sure you can get an ImageMagick build for Windows too, and it's a really handy tool to have in your toolbox.

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

In case you prefer, a friend of mine refers to himself as a Recalcitrant Medievalist.

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?

Hi Ian,

Thanks. I'll have my daughter take a look at that; it looks, to me, like it might work just fine.

Hi Goggles,

That converts to a pdf.

I have the pdf file; but I want to convert it.

Yup, I get myself in trouble that way almost daily.

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.

Hi Jerry,

\Start Button\All Programs\HP Scan

Use the HP Scan Tool software and select the "Save as JPEG"
See attachment

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

[JerryBaumchen 1,048]

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.

Interestingly enough,I used the Snipping Tool to capture the HP Scan Tool dialogue box attachment.

Hi BIGUN,

I have a H-P Officejet 4500; and as I mentioned, your option is not on my printer.

PS) I've been converting things like crazy now; and all of you guys are responsible.

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 1,048]

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.
