Token Question

Hi,

I tried to create a token from a .PDF file that I was looking at. For whatever reason, I was unable to do so. Please help. Thanks,

-Nick

Click on the little camera at the top of the page that says "Snapshot tool" if you hover the mouse cursor on it. Then click and drag a box around the part of the image you want. This copies it to the clipboard. Open an art program and hit ctrl+v which should paste it as an image in the program. Save the image. Use TokenTool as normal on the new image.

PDFs are not currently supported, you'll have to extract the image first. I could take a look at what it would take to support pdfs.

You could also just use the PrintScreen button to capture full screen shot to clipboard... then open image editing program and paste it in.

Too much, I assure you. I have tried to get PDF data in some of my apps in the past. Just to get ahold of the API costs almost two thousand dollars. And I did find some PDF examples on the Web before and reading PDF ain't no picknic either.

WRITING a PDF file is a different story however. There are tons of tools out there completely ready for you to "print" an EPS image to them and they will write a PDF in the blink of an eye.

Go figure.
