Default "Export" Schematic Page from a .PDF File Service Manual

Hi,

I have (free) Adobe Reader V5.0 (Windows 98SE computer). I bought a .PDF
file service manual for a TV. Unfortunately, a printout (quality HP printer)
of a schematic page does not produce the desired results. I tried everything.

Adobe's "Help" indicates I can print to an bitmap image file, but no
details on how to do it! This would be GREAT because I can use a graphics
editor to select the part of the schematic I want printed (larger print).

Does anyone know a technique to "export" a schematic page from a .PDF
file into a graphics image file (ex. PAGE38.BMP)?

Thanks in advance, Brad


Zoom in to the desired part of the schematic and then select the
Current View radio button in the Print window. I'm using Acrobat
Reader version 6.0.

BTW, you can dramatically reduce the startup time of Acrobat Reader by
disabling unnecessary plugins:
