Default PDF file as a background

Try the 'printer' driver that comes with SnagIt 8 - there is a working demo.
It will convert the printed output to any graphics format.

Not in Word, no. Some graphics apps can do it. You could also try
printing it to ImageWriter. It depends rather on what the PDF
contains: how was it created in the first place?

Is there an easy built-in capability to convert a PDF to a JPG
format? "Jezebel" wrote in message

It can, but PDFs imported into Word tend to be *huge*. Your document
would likely be unusable. Convert the PDF to a real image format
(GIF, JPG, etc) and use that.

I have a form in a PDF file that I'd like to use as a background
to a Word file.

Can a PDF file be imported as an image?
