Frustrated @ trying to post pics here from an outside host site

OK, here's my deal; I'm trying to post a wiring schematic that I scanned onto my computer which saved it in a PDF format. When I try to upload it to Photobucket, it doesn't recognize it as a photo format and therefore wll not show it as available to upload. How do I convert this PDF to a gif, jpeg, or bitmap? Or is this the correct way to go about it? Thanks.:mad2:

Can you give me the exact error you are getting?

I'm not getting an error; rather Photobucket doesn't "see" the PDF in my pictures folder. So I need to convert it to a photo format?

What about using the forum attachment option?

Feeling a little stupid with tunnel vision..... we still can attach to a thread with documents from our computer?......... guess I'm not just a diesel retard.

BTW...how can I convert that PDF to a photo format? PDF only allows me to save in text format.

You can attach a document to a post just like a picture.

I'm not sure, you'll need a specific program. Maybe Microsoft Picture Manager.

Thanks for info. BTW, my 6.5 decals look great on the truck.

Hi Mark -

Go to www.zamzar.com, upload your PDF and choose to convert it to a JPG. Give them your email address and push go.

It will upload the file, and when it's done converting, you'll get an email, with a link to download the converted JPG.

I use it all the time for various conversions; works good, quality is fine, you don't get any spam, etc.

Jim
