Hi Paul,
I have 6-7 pictures (oldies) I would like to post on Facebook, however, they are in PDF format. Any advice or suggestions for me?

Photoshop elements does a great job.
If you do not have that then, there are some programs on the web that you can download.
I tried "Office Convert PDF to JPG"
It is abit annoying because it constantly asks you to buy it but the conversion is free and good.....

When Oracle announced that it would keep Open Office to itself, the open source community responded by starting a new edition of the package, Libre Office. (Read more about this story)

 If you haven't given Libre Office a try, you may want to!
There are some significant improvements.

If you are closely connected with people using newer versions of Microsoft office there are some compatibility issues but in my experience issues arise only with some of the very advanced functionality that most people do not get into. In fact, with moving to Libre Office, I have noticed fewer issues.
