Map question

Hi there, I am having a problem taking a .pdf I downloaded from Paizo and putting it onto the background. I get hung up after it asks me to specify a page to transfer. The error states that it isnt the correct one. I am dragging/dropping from desktop onto the map layer. Does it matter if the .pdf is (secured)?? Sorry for the noob question, but trying to make this work. - Fid

Ideally you want to convert the page(s) you want, yourself, to JPG format, using a program on your computer, outside Roll20, then upload your result from that. You can do it in Photoshop, a free program for this is GIMP, or another perhaps simpler method is to take a screenshot or 'snipping tool'. So basically one method is open the PDF in a graphics program on your computer and export the page(s) you want to JPG format.
paint.net or GIMP are both excellent free ways to convert graphics to a jpeg. if you have a pdf creator or editor, such as adobe acrobat, you can just draw a selection box around the picture you want and copy it into the program
