So i decided to do my first roll20 game!! With a new baby in the house its a bit difficult to leave to actually do any table top play. I also decided i would like to run rise of the runelords since i have all the books and content for it. I purchases the map pack in PDF form thinking i could drag and drop all my maps and save me tons of time on gming. Im not very computer savy, but all the map images seemed to be locked some how. I tried converting the whole pdf into jpg but all that came out was snap art and no maps. If anyone has any tips or ways i can use the pdf map pack on roll20 that would be awsome!!
You'll need an image editing program, like GIMP.
First, open the PDF and have it fill the screen.
Then do Control-Print Screen, and then paste the image into the image editing window. Edit out extraneous details, and then save as a PDF.
Good luck; I've been doing the Roll20 for a bit now. It is quite handy.
(By the way, you can find some of the maps online as JPGs already. There is also a thread...

People make maps of various things. You probably want one of the more recent pages as sometimes the fan-created stuff vanishes from the web.
