I don't own the full version of Acrobat (and have no interest in owning it), but I own a PDF editing program (PDFEdit), and it can make TIFFs from PDFs (or PNGs or JPGs or any number of formats). And, of course, I couldn't have used Smartscore Lite to import a PDF if I had no method for converting a PDF to graphics. I actually explained all of that in my original question. -- David W.
