Hi
I'm looking for a freeware utility to print any file to a graphic image,
in this case a Word .doc file to .jpg (something like ZanImagePrinter).
Does anyone have any suggestions please. Screengrabbing won't really do
the job in this case as it's a huge multipage document.
Thanks.

Despite its name... FreePDF does a great job creating JPGs or TIFF
files and does multipage.
Go to <
http://freepdfxp.de/fpx732.htm> The site is in German, but the
program is multi-lingual.
Download and install GhostScript
Download and install FreePDF
Go to your Start menu and launch FreePDF (not Assistant or Join)
Go to Edit->Options
Click on Profiles
Choose New
Give it a name like "JPG Output" (or whatever you want)
Change the "output format" to JPEG
It defaults to 300 DPI but you can also set it to 600 or 1200
Choose "save"
Close the configuration window. You only have to do those steps once.
Now, go into just any Windows application and choose "FreePDF" as
the printer.
Once the priting starts, you will get a dialogue asking what to do with
the output. Change the Profile to "JPG Output" and you can save the
output as JPG files. It will create a file for each page and add "-01"
"-02" etc to the end of each file name.
I've created multiple profiles ("JPG 300" "JPG 600" and "TIFF
Multipage") so I have some flexibility depending on what I'm going to
do with the graphic.
And.... FreePDF is free for "all uses" so I don't have to worry when I
use it at work
