1.  Select 'New Topic' or "Reply"
2.  Enter text in the message area you wish to have surround the picture you are planning to add.
3.  Select the 'Insert/Edit Image' button just above the message area.  A small window pops up.
4.  In this window type the URL of the image you wish to insert.  It should begin with 'http://"  and end with ".gif" or ".jpg".  Click OK.
4b.  If the picture is on your personal hard drive you will need to upload it to a picture sharing/storage service like Flickr.  Once the picture is on that site you can simply cut and paste the URL of the image into the small window in step 4.

There's an easy way around this, go to Tools | Options. Under the View tab is a checkbox for "Hide file extensions for known file types", uncheck it.

Also, the easiest way to make a jpg or gif file is to just paste the pic into Paint, then use "Save As" select gif or jpg, it will do either.

Bill,

Adobe does not give me and edit option to cut on a selected pdf page section. I'm using the free version so that feature is either not available or I don't know how to select a piece and cut it. The select tool will highlight text but not offer cut on a right click or off the top bar menu. ??

Trouts,

Instead of acrobat reader, try Foxit Reader from www.foxitsoftware.com, it's free and has a snapshot tool that will place any selection directly into your clipboard. It's on the top right of the toolbar. It's also much smaller than adobe's reader so it loads a LOT faster.

Hiya: When you insert the link, should you see the picture or just the link. I used the same website as you did and chose, from the four options, the direct link.

You should see the pic.
