My HP program changes it easily, but I have learnt something by trying your method Melanie. Like I didn´t know I even had Microsoft Paint! So thank you for enlightening me, I´ll have a play around with that tomorrow!

Couldn't see this posted and have just found out how to do it so I thought I would post it for those that don't know. Good for attaching census pics to FTM.

* Open Microsoft Paint
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint

* Open PDF file
Click on 'Snapshot Tool' (pic of camera) on the toolbar > Draw around the image > Click ok

* Go to Paint
Edit > Paste > .. Document should show
File > Save as > Change 'save as type' to JPEG > name document > save to my pictures.

This also works with pictures that have been sent in a word document.

I don't know if there is a simpler way as am a bit of a techno-numpty but thought I would post anyway.
