That's a good idea as well. The only thing I had though of was to print out he image ('cos it will let me print a single page, just not save it!) and then scan it back in again. Which kind of seems pointless when the image is on your PC in the first place... Sam

That's something that bugged me for months! In the end i was taking screen shots and saving those. Finaly cracked and asked a friend - who knows that sort of stuff. (Dont ya just hate having to ask!? lol) What's needed is the FinePrint pdfFactory - which i think is a free download but am not sure. It googles. When that is installed and your adobe page is open, click on File and then Print. A box pops up and at the top left side is a drop down menu thingie - for printers. Click on that it should then give you the option for FinePrintpdfFactory. Then go down further and say which page/s you want to save, (in the Print Range section) then click OK. Ya get another box come up! lol But just click on the Save button at the bottom - and the next box you name, allocate and save. Sounds long winded but you zip thru it once you got the hang. lol Sue

I'm sure someone asked this the other day but I can't find the thread I'm afraid. I have an 1841 census which uses Adobe Acrobat. Does anyine know how I can save just one page of the census, when I click save it tries to save the whole piece, which is too big. Printing is nor prblem, i can just select the page I want but I can only save the whole thing! Thanks Sam
