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?

[Jezebel]

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.

Is there an easy built-in capability to convert a PDF to a JPG 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?

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