To Daphne Goodman, Yes I can convert the file into Tiff.  I have never done it before so it makes for an excellent idea to try along with the pixel size increase.

I truly appreciate your help.  I'll contact you if it doesn't work for me.

to Patty Wimpsett Killion, I forgot to ask you what photo editing software do you use?  If it isn't Corel or Adobe, you probably won't be able to make the adjustments you need.  If you want, I will do it for you.  Please contact me on my Genealogy Wise page.

to: Patty Wimpsett Killion regarding cropping a news article.  I don't know Mac that well but what you need is the largest size to work from before you crop.  If you can download it into a Tiff file which saves the original file and resolution size that is best. If you cannot do Tiff then, increase the pixels to at least 400-800 pixels  before you save it as a jpeg from the pdf file.  When the entire page is huge then adjust color, fading, brightness, etc for the section you will crop only. Then you are ready to crop.

I'm having a problem and would love someone to help me with this. Right now I'm trying to obtain my ancestor's obituaries through newspapersarchive.com and then put them on ancestry.com. First I work on a Mac. The obituary comes from newspaper in a pdf file. I then covert it to a jpg file and put it into iPhoto to edit and cut down to just the obit from the newspaper page. The problem is I can't read it...it is such small print. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to increase the size.
Can someone please help me with my limited knowledge of this?
