[ILL-L] Converting pdf to tif for Odyssey or Ariel delivery

[Judy Greenwood]

I've been using this process with MS Office 2003 but can't seem to get it to
work with MS 2007 which has Microsoft XPS Document Writer or OneNote 2007
with no option to save as a .tiff.  Am I doing something wrong?

Amazing (and a little surreal)!
I noticed the "import" button in Ariel for the very first time just a
few minutes before I saw your post.

Thanks!
