Can PDF's be converted for Ozzy?

As the National Forests complete the new Motorized use maps, I'm wondering if the PDF format can adapted for use with Ozzy.

Here's a few local to me examples:

I took the time to download one of my favorite areas (Hey KC - it's some of your favorite stomping grounds too!)

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that Photoshop can open PDFs. If that's true, then it might be able to save them in other formats.

PS CS4, CS5 will open a PDF file then you can save the file as a JPG, TIFF and PNG files format that Ozzi will open..

Because I do not use Ozzi (I work with MAC) I can not help you more..

i converted the PDF to a hi res jpeg... it it to large to attach to this post. PM me and i can email it to you.

EDIT... See if you can right click and save it from below...

Thanks guys!

I'm still in the process of deciding on using a netbook or going with the HEMA unit that uses Ozzy. Knowing I can convert these solves that anyway. The new maps would offer awesome detail!

Are you trying to open the files in Google Earth, or OziExplorer?

I'm the one who started the process of taking the Colorado MVUM PDF's, and converting them for use in Google Earth. Many of the KMZ files on the Stay the Trail website are my doing. I'm not familiar with OziExplorer, but if you have any questions, just let me know - maybe I can help with georeferencing & file conversion.
