Dennis, you can also use the 'text select tool' or 'image
select tool' to highlight any portion of a pdf file itself,
then copy and paste that. The program I mentioned earlier,
irfanview http://irfanview.com/english.htm is great for this
too. You can paste anything from a pdf file into it, then
reduce colors and save as a gif. The print screen key also
works with it as well, and it's a much smaller document file
size wise than Word...the document can also be manipulated
too of course if saving the image or document or
emailing/uploading/downloading it is important. MS paint
will also work with the print screen key, but of course it's
a huge file size with it.

I finally purchased a HP 1220 Desk jet printer with 11X17
paper. This makes these schematics easier to read and more
complete as I do not have to place the schematic over 2 8
1/2 X 11 pages.
Another cheap trick you can do is zoom in to what you want in
the schematic then hit the Print screen button on your
keyboard. This action puts what you see on your screen in
your clipboard. Open a MS Word and "Paste"
the screen print picture into the document. Select the
resolution and the page format you need like portrait or
landscape and print the document.
It will print the whole screen icons and all but what is
important you will have your schematic blown up so it can be
read.
Currently what I use is Adobe Acrobat Distiller. When I go to
print out any schematic I select Adobe Acrobat Distiller in
my printer selection. It will ask you to provide a file name
for the document and select your
desired resolution in the "printer properties". After that a
pdf file is created ready for E-mailing or size editing.
After it is in a PDF form you can crop, expand, reduce,
annotate, highlight ... etc.
Works beautifully

Specs. on scanners are 600dpi, 1200dpi.
