Cat Skinning, Made Easy

[Click on the story, above, to enlarge it.]

My friend, Debi, wants to put a newsletter article about herself on her LinkedIn page. All she has is the pdf for the entire magazine issue. She doesn't even have a PDF writer on her Windows box.

Impossible?

Piece of cake.

1. She mails me the pdf.
2. I use Ubuntu's Document Viewer to bring up the PDF.
3. I print page 2 to a file, as PDF.
4. I use convert(1) to turn that pdf into a png.
5. I import the png into my blog.
6. We verify that she can see it, and that it suits her needs.
   
7. We use Blogger to create her a blog, put the same png into her own blog entry, and point to it on her LinkedIn page.
