Tried your method, but it doesn't work, because VectorEngineer Quick-Tools won't allow me to open a PDF file. In fact, it appears the only thing that will open is a .VEC file, which is their own format. I also tried putting the image onto the clipboard and pasting into VectorEngineer Quick-Tools, but that didn't work either. Tim
