I didn't have an Adobe Book File to run a test on, so all I could do was try this location for a free book download. http://etext.virginia.edu/ebooks/ E-book Library at the Electronic Text Center Wide range of publicly-available e-books from the University of Virginia Library in Microsoft Reader and Palm formats. etext.virginia.edu/ebooks/ - 14k - Cached - Similar pages I choose Civil War - Red Badge of Courage as a test - Chapter 1 only. - I clicked save as and it was quickly delivered to my Desktop. Everything went OK. Adobe 7 is the free version. Do you need the paid Version?

OH THank YOU SO MUCH, IT WORKED, I WAS NOT PUTTING IN THE "PERIOD" IN FRONT OF PDF, YOU ARE GREAT, PIGGY

Adobe is a corporation, not a product or a file format. PDF, which you states in the subject correctly, means "Portable Document Format" - it is the file format created by Adobe's Acrobat software (and many other programs since Adobe publishes the PDF specification). That file format is actually a meta format of sorts and can contain all sorts of information in it, including illustration file formats, text as well as bitmap graphics in various image formats. You can upload any file to a web host or file hosting service. Not all file types will display in someone's browser and certainly not all files will display inline on one of these forum messages. If you want to just include a text link to the file you can insert a standard HTML anchor tag pointing to the hosted file or you can use the "Optional Link URL" feature included at the bottom of the posting/edit box. If you would like an image to appear inside your post then you should send up a file in a format that will display properly in the majority of people's web browsers and can be used with the HTML "img" tag. Definitely not a TIFF. A JPEG or PNG is recommended. Depending on what software you're using to view or edit PDF files on your computer you may be able to Save or Export the images you want out of the file. Otherwise one very easy way is to do a screen or window capture while viewing the file. The resulting image can then be cropped if needed (to remove any desktop/window graphics that don't belong in the original photo). If this is all Greek to you, you might be better off just uploading the PDF as first mentioned and including its URL in the "Optional Link URL" below. As long as someone has a PDF plugin or viewer they'll be able to view it. Then maybe someone will be nice enough to strip out the pictures you want out of the file. If I see this thread again and you've uploaded the file I can do it if you'd like. Bruno

Unfortunately, you can't just insert a PDF or a JPG into a post -- you have to upload it somewhere else first, and then link to it. If you click on the link below to the ReadMe for this forum, and scroll down to the second or third comment, the instructions walk you through how to upload images to photobucket. I use picasa (free google image hosting) instead, but the process is essentially the same. Hope this helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Read Me for GardenWeb kitchen forum
