Hi,

    I have (free) Adobe Reader V5.0 (Windows 98SE computer).  I bought a .PDF
file service manual for a TV.  Unfortunately,  a printout (quality HP printer)
of a schematic page does not produce the desired results.  I tried everything.

   Adobe's "Help" indicates I can print to an bitmap image file, but no
details on how to do it!   This would be GREAT because I can use a graphics
editor to select the part of the schematic I want printed (larger print).

    Does anyone know a technique to "export" a schematic page from a .PDF
file into a graphics image file (ex. PAGE38.BMP)?

                Thanks in advance,   Brad

 From "Newbie Question" about 5 posts above:

You could do a screen capture using an image editor (Irfanview is free) 
or view the pdf in Foxit Reader instead of Adobe's, which has a screen 
capture built in.

If it's a vector graphic and you want better detail, you might want to 
zoom into each section of the drawing before you capture, then stitch 
the parts together with an image editing program.

Hello,

Please pay attention that some printers propose an option to print in 
bitmap mode. This can be discovered in the options of the driver when it 
is the case. It happens the printing is slower, but in this case this is 
useful.


After following Bob's ideas of course ...
