pdfsam lets you split a PDF into smaller pieces or merge several into one document. Probably better than converting into graphics.

The snipping app in Win 7 allows you to capture just any part of the frame in one go. As does the one in my 20 year old Acorn. ;-)

Search though I may, I cannot find the snipping tool on my system (Win
7, V6.1, build 7601, SP1, 32 bit). If it's there, can you tell me how to activate it, pls?- Vote on answer

It appears not to be in every version. I have Win7 Home Premium. I'd guess there will be free alternatives, though.

Yeah. I was assuming that PDF files contained enough information to open them again and edit them with the paid for Adobe tools. I wasn't really thinking of them as basically a print to disc similar to a scan of a page, otherwise I would have treated it like a photo to crop.
Thanks for all the responses.
Cheers

If you are running Win 7 or 8, the new "snipping" tool is even more convenient: copy, crop, and save to JPG in one go.

It's OK, I've found it now. start > all programs > accessories > snipping tool, although polygonum's suggestion also brings it up.
(I'm a refugee from XP, so still learning!)

Ah - right. I'd have said but assumed you'd looked in accessories. Which prompted me to look at the basic version in my notebook.

Don't think I have ever touched Windows 7 Starter - indeed, I tend to forget it even exists. Sorry about that.

The notebook is only really used for in car stuff - like logging or tuning etc the Megasquirt in the old Rover. And even with a basic version of Win7 it takes ages to boot. It would probably make more sense to use linux.
