1 Assuming you have a PostScript printer driver installed, such as Apple's Laserwriter or Adobe's AdobePS, print to file from Acrobat Reader. 2 Under PostScript setting, in the Print dialogue, choose EPS. 3 Save that EPS file. 4 Open Photoshop and use it to open the EPS file you recently created. Choose a reasonable resolution when Photoshop asks for the resolution you want for the bitmap that Photoshop will create. I would choose at least 300 ppi if you are going to produce a b/w bitmap. 5 Save as JPEG file. Many users don't realise that Photoshop can RIP PostScript files into bitmaps. -- Regards, Ray Forma 50 Harvest Road, North Fremantle WA 6159, Australia Tel & Fax 61 (0)8 9335 6568
