pdf files. How do I place those files on my pages. Microsoft doesn't give me

You need to convert the PDF files to graphics such as EPS or TIFF, depending
on where your publication will be output.

Use a program such as the full version of Adobe Acrobat to extract the
images. If they will be output to commercial print, a PostScript printer or
to a PDF file, export as EPS. If you are printing to a local printer or
don't know whether your driver supports PDF, export as high-res TIFF.

As well as Adobe Acrobat, you could use GhostScript in conjunction with
GSView (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ and

The question is how to import pdf formatted ads into publisher.
Rather than have to buy the $$$ Acrobat, if this is a single page (I
would think an ad would be), Paint Shop Pro 8 and 9 will open pdf
files as a "picture", they can then be saved as an acceptable picture
type. Photoshop Elements will do the same. Perhaps some other image
editing programs?

Then you have to spend the $$$ on Photoshop Elements or Paint Shop Pro.

The links I mentioned in my post have a free utility that can, or could last
time I checked, convert PDFs to images.
