pdf file for hfgh
Comments (17)Seems several are wanting the manual/instructions. The following link comes from HF's site under the item # 93358 and lower right corner as the Download Manual. Not sure how it compares with what is in the box, as I have not opened my just purchased one yet. Here is a link that might be useful: HFGH 10X12 Manual...See MoreHelp, how do I upload a pdf file?
Comments (3)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...See MoreCan a .pdf File Be Changed to a .jpg?
Comments (6)Jodi..that didn't work with these files. Not sure why..but I made the picture smaller so it would fit the screen and did a Print Screen. Then opened them in my photo editing program and saved them as JPG's! Thanks...See MoreOpen question: pdf files
Comments (2)Teresa, I think what you need is a file sharing/backup web site. Check out the link below. I haven't tried it, but apparently, you type in the email addresses of the people to whom you want to send the file. The the it walks you through uploading the actual file(s) it onto the web. Then the recipients will get an email with a link in it, and they click the link to download the file. Another one I read about that sounds good (as they SAY it does not reuqire you to install any software to use it, is http://www.box.net/individual Here is a link that might be useful: You send it...See More- 9 years ago
