What kind of input does Acrobat require? I have the reader as most people
do.
Also .pdf files tend to be real large. I admit it is a cool way to
publish books and long articles.

Acrobat will accept almost anything - at work we dump word, excel,
powerpoint, Acad LT 2000, Acad 200, solidworks, etc into it with no
problems.

Once it's a PDF - anyone with the reader can view zoom print, etc.

I personally use a program called Pagis - not widely supported, but it
stores images in a segmented TIF so you get the text in B&W at 300 DPI and
the pictures as grey or color at 100 DPI, displays awesomely, does
intelligent image cleanup, and has a miniscule file size (smaller than PDF).
But, no one but me can read the files :(

I could be wrong on this but once a pict is in pdf you can not extract
it directly back to a gif or jpg from the viewer. 

Perhaps I just don't know how to do that.
That would be a real handy thing for me to have. Course I am really stupid
when it comes to Windoze. Somebody said I could cut and paste to the
clip board and then save it as a jpg. How do I do that step by step?
