I need to open files with above extensions, please advise how
to down load such extension file or convert the same to an applicable extension.

Thank You,

Need help to convert from BMP format to tiff/or pdf print shops cant read bmp format what do I need to do

Nearly any graphics program will do this. You probably have Microsoft Paint on your computer. Look in Programs > Accessories. You may also have Microsoft Photo Editor. Most of the free software programs that come with digital cameras will work. Free download programs such as IrfanView will work.

Open the bitmap in whatever graphics program you can find. Save it as a JPG (also called JPEG). That's it.

Hi Joe Krulock,

I am assuming you have Adobe PDF writer installed in your computer, right? If you don't have, there are several free applications in the web.

Then, follow these steps
- Select a floor-> view working floor only
- File--> Print to scale / Print to page--> Printing in color (yes/no)--> Select PDF writer printer--> Properties--> Paper Custom Size= XX"x ZZ" (the size to fit the plan)--> Print
See the picture attached

Hi Doug,

There are several ways to do it:

1- Print the plan, scan it, and save it as *.jpg, *.bmp, etc. Then insert as picture in your Word document.

2- Visualize your plan, and take a shot of the screen Print Screen-->Go to MS Paint-->Paste--> Trim the image--> Save as *.jpg, *.bmp, etc. Then insert as picture in your Word document.

3- If you have Acrobat writer: Open the plan and ask for the option "Print to fit page"-->print to file-->select your printer as "Acrobat PDF writer". To trim or save as, you can do it in the Acrobat PDF reader). Then select the picture, copy and paste in your document
