How in the world do you get a page, or a specific graphic from a adobe page, converted into a seperate file so you can post it?

You need to buy their upper end software. Acrobat PDFWriter or Distiller. For images you can do a screen capture and then edit it in Photo Editor or something.

Not sure, but I know it's a lot. Probably at least $200. Make sure it doesn't just create PDF files but can also edit them too if that's what you need.

You can also just use copy and paste... my roomate just dragged the mouse over the image until it was selected and then right-clicked and hit copy. He then pasted it into a Word document. Worked just fine...

Well I'll be damned. I could have sworn the older versions didn't do that. 6.0 Reader works fine.

I lurk around... hasn't been much going on with my car lately though so I don't have much to ask, plus most people here know more about this stuff than me so I can't answer too much either without someone one-upping me. :pface I try to stick my head in when I can, but there's just not a lot for me to say that hasn't already been said.

Screen capture. Sucky image quality, but it's an option.

I don't understand this question.

Hit the "Print Screen" button next to F12 and then open up your favorite image editing software (Photoshop, Paint, whatever) and paste it in...
