Kevin there is one other sneaky solution that you might on a protected PDF file. Preview has a tool mode to copy text or images. It is the square box on the right side of the oval tab. (If you don?t have the tool mode active, while in Preview go under the View Menu, select Customize Toolbar and drag the 3 button tool mode tab to the bottom part of the screen, it will now be on your toolbar ) Open the PDF in Preview, select the image box and drag it over the page. Cut and paste each page to a word processor, or better yet to Photoshop so you can use the sharpen command on the file, and then import each page to VW. What you said about PDF?s is true, many do not look that good when on paper because they are set at 72 or 96 DPI for quicker loading in your browser. You might try contacting the company who?s ICBO report it is and have them send you an unprotected, higher quality copy. And your welcome for the 1st response, but don?t flatter yourself, I didn?t join to just answer your question :-)) Although I am very adapt at graphics and images on the Mac, I am a novice to VW and will need lots of help, so maybe you can return the favor in the future.

Hi Kevin, Grant uses Macs and so do I. You must be using Windows as OSX allows any file to be printed as a PDF and the Preview program allows individual pages to be re-saved and/or printed. I downloaded a multi page ICBO report and found that that it was not protected, so try these suggestions: 1. Do a get properties on the document and look under permissions. See if you are listed as the administrator of the document, if not, change it so your status to read and write. 2. Open each page and try to "save as" and select pdf. If you are using Adobe, you must have the Standard or Distiller applications, as the free "Reader" version does not allow this. 3. Do you have a photo editing software such as Adobe Photo Elements? Open each page in this program, then do the "save as" a pict or tiff and import those files into VW.
