  • Question

    How do I make an image in a PDF file from a JPG file?

    Community Answer

    If you have Photoshop, go to File>Automate>PDF Presentation. Then you can browse for your JPG's, or use any already open in Photoshop.

  • Question

    Can I just make a screenshot instead?

    Community Answer

    Yes, but taking a screenshot will reduce the quality of the image. It's better to convert the file from PDF to JPEG.

  • Question

    Is the conversion program free?

    Community Answer

    No. It is a promotional copy that only allows you to convert odd pages. For one-page docs, this is fine, but for anything else, you'll have to buy the full copy (price unknown).

  • Question

    What should I do if I cannot save the PDF as a JPEG in Adobe or open it in Word?

    First, check that the owner has not set any document restrictions. If they have, there is no way to save the PDF as a JPEG. If there is no such restriction, you can try Convert PDF to Word tools. After the conversion, you can open the final output word file in Word.

  • Question

    How do I keep a good resolution on the jpeg?
