(If it's a full page in the source PDF, you can use File | Convert from Ghostview, for instance. If it's a partial page and you need to crop it, then I'm not sure the best route.) The PDF might scale legibly. If you're going to send something, I wouldn't use a JPG. That's bit- mapped, so resizing is by pixel manipulation. A vector format would be better. -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
