Hi, I have some pdfs with cards inside, and I would like to use them in my gamebox.. but first I should convert them to image format. Anyone knows how to do that?
And not, copying to clipboard is not an option, because to copy all the text would be so small.. And yes, I could copy piece by piece, but I would like to know if there is any way to do that at once and quickly.
Thanks.

Re: PDF to image
I had this problem once. I used Corel Draw to read the pdf files and exported them as jpeg bitmaps.Edgar wrote:Hi, I have some pdfs with cards inside, and I would like to use them in my gamebox.. but first I should convert them to image format. Anyone knows how to do that?

In Acrobat with the pdf opened: File > Save as then select .tiff. Those can then be opened and edited in an image editing program.
Note that I have Acrobat Professional, so not sure if that's an option with the free reader....

You can print the PDF-File with "PDFCreator" (an OpenSource-Prog -> http://www.pdfforge.org/) and save it as PNG / TIFF / JPEG / BMP, you can als ajust the dpi-settings. With this program you can do every document which is printable to a PNG / TIFF / JPEG / BMP / PDF / PCX / PS / EPS.

One last piece of advice.
When you rasterize the PDF, you will be asked for a resolution.
Try rasterizing the PDF to double resolution (600 dpi), and then downsize the image to 50% (to 300 dpi) in your bitmap graphics editor. The result may be better looking than if you rasterize directly to 300 dpi.
