How do I......????

Postby Tommy Turbo on Wed Mar 03, 2010 4:01 pm

post a pdf file up on this website? Anyone know?

I'd like to post up a preliminary copy of the club flyer for the 30th program but can't seem to get it to work.

Apparently you cannot upload a pdf to Photobucket similar to a regular picture.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

On a Windows based machine. Open the pdf file with Adobe reader, go to tools, select and zoom, and snapshot tool from the drop down menu, then basically take a snapshot photo of the selected area of the pdf page, this will save it to the clipboard. Then open paint under accessories menu from the start button, then use edit, then paste, then just the standard save as "jpg" to make a jpg file. From there upload to photobucket or other photo hosting site as normal. We do this all the time to copy text from pdf files to ms word at work, crude I know, but it works.

Well tweaked on this to allow uploading of PDF files, among a gaggle of other document files. Unfortunately I have not found a way for the upload to be visible in the post.

If you upload, I then can FTP into the Indiana web site so that is visible in the posting in this board.
