FAQ: Create an Image From a PDF While Uploading to the Library
The PDF file type is not a supported "graphic" file type for the web. They will need to be converted to either PNG, GIF or JPG. You will need a program that converts these files types and more than likely get familiar with some basic graphic editing. Do an Google search on PDF to PNG OR PDF to JPG converter. Regards, Tony
Snagit captures images and saves them as JPG. Works very well for me: www.techsmith.com/snagit/
I drop them into publisher and save them in whatever format I need. Works great!
I am wondering if it's possible to link a newsletter to a pdf document. When people opt in to my site I give them a free ebook. Up until now I have just used a standard email with an attachment, but I'm thinking that sending them a CC newsletter type document complete with my branding would look far more professional looking.
Many thanks and regards,

Sure. Just insert a link to the pdf document.
To add a little on to what Pro said. Modify your welcome email to include the link to your eBook. This way when your new subscriber signs up and gets the welcome email you will already be serving him the link to your PDF with no additional action on your part required.
Thanks very much for your assistance. I have now done this, and as a result the process is much more streamlined.
Super !!!
Where do you paste the address?

FAQ: Create an Image From a PDF While Uploading to the Library
I'm able to upload my pdf just fine but when I open it, it looks a bit different from my original PDF. The effects are not showing. For instance, the background fades navy blue to a lighter blue in the middle and only showing one solid color when it's uploaded. Also, the color of the pdf and the text is way lighter than my original document. Any suggestions?
