G'day Alan,
This may be worth a try: http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=2609.msg15481#msg15481 (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=2609.msg15481#msg15481)
It works in most PDF reader programs and means you can save the snapshot as a jpg and upload as usual.
Good luck, Justin

Hi Alan,
I believe all PDF programs have the zoom and snapshot feature.
Then it's just a matter of pasting into Paint and saving as a jpeg.
Good luck, Justin
