Inserting PDF's into Word documents!

Finally, I have figured out how to get PDF's from the internet into my Word documents!  Originally I was viewing the PDF in adobe reader and under EDIT , selecting "Take a snapshot" to take a picture and then Ctrl V in the Word document to insert it.  ONLY problem--VERY BLURRY!  So here is my alternate solution that took care of the blurring!  With a little help from Zamzar my images are clear and can be rotated to fit on a page within my 50+ page Word document.

  1. Start by saving the PDF you want somewhere you can easily find it--Desktop folder is good!
  2. Go to www.zamzar.com.
  3. Browse for the PDF you saved in the first step.  Select it!
  4. In the second zamzar box choose "jpg".
  5. Type your email in the third zamzar box.
  6. Hit CONVERT.  
  7. Go to you email...find the new document (it will only be available for 1 day).
  8. Click on the download link in the email you received.
  9. Once downloaded I choose the larger file (non zipped file) and save it to my folder on the desktop.
  10. Open Word document you want to insert the PDF (now a picture) into.
  11. Place curser where you want the picture--INSERT "PICTURE".  Choose the picture you just made and hit enter.
  12. Resize as needed and rotate!
