TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
>Just to add to what Al added to what Fred said (hey, it's Friday! <g>),
don't do that if the PDF originated in a vector graphics tool (like
Illustrator or Corel Draw). You'd be converting a scalable vector
drawing (essentially infinite resolution) into a bitmap (limited
resolution). Bad idea.<
I agree if it's a vector graphics file, but not all GIFs are vector graphic
files. However, if you need to erase something and you don't have the
original, it will work. It won't be pretty, but it will be acceptable until
you have the time to make it pretty.
Well, it's time to prepare for the Vermont Microbrew Festival, so I'll be
signing off until sometime Sunday afternoon....
