Try zooming in on the PDF file, then taking a screenshot with the print screen key. If that doesn't work you can send me the file off list and I can probably get the shot out of it. I have some other Adobe PDF programs. (Let me know first you are sending it because I may have to give you another address and it may have to zipped first, or just tell me the download link).
Not sure which "window" at left you mean. If it's like the thumbnail view, you should see an "X" or "close" or something like that within the window. Also try "View" and you can probably uncheck something there. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "LarryB" I tried using FoxIt but it will not let me save it. Says it is protected. Also How do you get rid of the page window on the left? I also tried to take a snapshot which works but no print function and when you open the snapshot in an image program the resolution is very poor and not useable. FoxIt also said I might be able to save the document if I purchased their pro version.! LarryBrowning K & L Electronics Keith Thompson wrote: > Try opening it in FoxIt.
