Put a document on a DVD as a pic??

knightstyle

I sometimes give talks and prepare pics on a DVD to project.
But I also want to project documents I have prepared. However I cannot find a way to save these documents in Jpeg or similar.
I usually use LibreOffice and NeoOffice and can save in lots of formats but none will work on Toast which I use to burn a DVD.
So I have taken to printing and then scanning, but I am sure there is a better way?

Have you tried with any online converters

A screen shot saved in paint may not be the "proper" way to do it but very simple.

Have you tried "printing" using 'Microsoft Office Document Image Writer' which will produce a TIFF file (although this only produces black & white images). Or you could try a combination of this:

doPDF (to print a PDF version)

and then:

Office Convert PDF to JPG JPEG TIFF (to produce image)

I've used doPDF which I prefer out of the many PDF printers. Have not tried the office conver though.

With more searching, you may find other virtual printers that produce image files.

I tend to put the document into Publisher and then save as Jpeg. I then open and crop any white border so all I have is the image (file/document/info).

I photograph documents. The quality is better than my old scanner.
