    PDF to GIF conversion software

    I would like to convert Jebog32 Visual Approach and Departure Charts to GIF format so I can use them in Helios (Cap Loz v2.1 profile).
    For this job I need PDF to GIF converter. There are many free-ware on internet, but before I start search adventure I was wondering if some of you can recommend one.

    Due to the relative small amount of charts, I would go for a screenshot and save that as a GIF.
    The builtin snippet tool of Windows 7 is perfect for that.
    I think you've done half the charts (if not all) before you find a suitable converter and have it setup.

    I don't know of one...before going forward I would contact the Jabog32 folks to make sure they are OK with it.

    Are you saying that I need their permission to convert the charts from one format to another? OK, no problem I'll do that. Thanks for the tip.

    You can use Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro to convert pdf files to jpeg, then convert them to gif.

    Thanks Jedi, good to know that.
    I've sent an e-mail to Jebog32 guys asking them for the permission to convert the documents. If I get it I'll let you know.

    In the mean time I've tried Stukas suggestion ans experiment .. the result is a bit blurry, not sharp enough

    Yeah, indeed, a bit blurry.
    Hopefully you get it sharper with a gif.

    I guess there's no option to get a pdf file into Helios ?

    No problem, just let me know, if you got the approval i will convert them.
    Maybe Stuka can upload them later on to the download section for all members with Helios to use.

    I wouldn't say approval is required for more out of respect.
