Need help moving image
My boss gave me a CD containing an image she wants me to use both on our web site and in our next monthly newsletter. Normally, I can just go into the admin area for our site and upload the image directly from the CD; once I've done that, the URL becomes its location and I can easily place it anywhere I need to on the site or in an html email. This time, the image is a pdf file and it is *huge*.

Since the admin site only supports '.jpg', '.gif', '.swf' and '.css' files, I copied and pasted the image into FrontPage and converted it to a '.gif', as well as resizing it. My problem now is how the heck do I get it onto the admin site?
(None of us have CD burners.)

Any help would be great. Thanks.

If it is really *HUGE* (whatever that size may be), downoad a file splitter and e-mail the pieces to the admin site where they can be reassembled. A freeware file splitter is attached. Use it in good health.

Thanks, Arky, I really appreciate it!

In this instance, though, I need to send the admin site a single, finished image.

I think maybe my question is too "beginner" for you all (guess I'll be changing that Experience level...); I've successfully edited the image via FrontPage. I just can't figure out how to save the image only to another location (in this case, our admin site's "Images" page.

Front Page is an HTML editor, not an image editor. You would be uploading a web page not an actual image. Tell the your boss to give you the image alone and not as part of a PDF file. If he/she made the PDF they have access to the source images. If you indeed did save it as a gif then what is the difference in transferring it from your hard drive as opposed to a CD?? Just browse to the folder you saved the gif in.

Thanks, Rockn, I appreciate your help.

You're right, of course, about FrontPage; unfortunately, it's the closest thing to an image editor I have. After I pasted the image into/onto a blank web page, I right clicked it and selected "Picture Properties".

From there I was able to select .gif and resize & resample it, so I guess haven't really saved it at all, yet. Sure wish I had PhotoShop again.

Anyway, thanks again for the help.
