There aren't that many that do both images and text well. Not that the "portable document format" is perfect. Just pretty good for folks who need or want to combine text and images in one file. Works

The confusion here with PDF files is that PDF files can be Vector or Raster. In a Vector based PDF file you can highlight text and copy it as text and paste it into another program. In a Raster based

This is actually a interesting thread. The poster who said they were still on dial-up internet access really got my attention. Obviously for such a user they cannot tolerate embedded images so they

The only thing I would like to say about that is that with every external provider ( dropbox google and so ) there is the risk to loose images and so on. As it has happened with flickr photobucket and

I've done this myself for single images that fit on the visible screen. But what do you do if, say, you want to turn a 20 page pdf document into a jpg? I'd that what GIMP can do? Mike Taglieri
