Can anybody give me a general idea how to create a printable pdf like this printable workout? Could I use word for this then turn it into a jpg or pdf that I could upload to my site so visitors can print it?

Creating the pdf took about 2 minutes: printable workout sample It's the converting of this pdf into a jpg that I'm having a hard time figuring out. If anybody knows how to do it please let me know.

I found the answer (as usual). Here it is if anybody else needs it. 6 Ways to Convert PDF to JPG

I love the last way! Simple and easy.

Monica,

Thanks for posting your question and answering it for all of us!

Photoshop will open a PDF and then it can be saved it as a jpeg or many other file formats. The only problem is that Photoshop will only open and save one page at a time (version 7.0). The next time I have a multiple page PDF I will certainly check out the last way from "6 Ways to Convert PDF to JPG"!

Photoshop is pretty awesome. It's also $700 that I would rather spend on continuing education certs. I have found so many cheap or free solutions for video, slideshow and now this. It just takes patience to find them : )

I agree with you! However, with desktop publishing, graphic and web design being my business I do not have much choice. Especially since many of my clients send me Photoshop files to work with. A few years back I stopped upgrading some of my software as what I had was working just fine... until Windows 7. Now I have some glitches and thinking at some point an upgrade will be needed. Training certs for you... InDesign for me! :-)

I agree that we all spend on what is relevant to our primary business. Some people think it's crazy to spend $200 on exercises traps or $70 on a medicine ball or $90 for a specific type of yoga mat or $500 for nutrition/training courses but that's what I do.

The publishing/media aspect of my job is secondary and I still spend $600 a year on web hosting and tools plus another $350 a year for email marketing services. I wish there was money in the budget for everything but being a small business owner means you have limitations.

If there was a small biz fairy I would ask for a 5 man camera/film editing crew, and a desktop publisher to do all the work for me then I could just focus on the fun stuff (creating workouts, writing, doing keyword research). Being able to outsource is one of my goals for next year.

Thanks for answering the question for us. Yes, outsourcing is the best option for small businesses. It's also a cost-effective strategy.
