This is a simple way to convert your pdf file into a jpg (photo) format so you can post it on the forum. You’d need to use Adobe Reader version 7.0.

Open your pdf layout in Adobe Reader. At the top horizontal menu, the 2nd listed is “Edit”. Under Edit, select “Copy file to clipboard”.

Then, open MS Paint Brush. Under Edit, select “Paste”. You should see your drawing now. Do a “Save As” and chose JPG as your file extension (right below it). Now you have your layout in jpg (photo) format for posting.

Here’s another hint: Use the PrtSc key to copy your entire screen to the clipboard. Then follow ntt_hou’s instructions above for using MS Paint to save as a jpg. Use Alt+PrtSc to copy the active window only.
(This works for Windows; not sure about Mac.)
