Not sure exactly how to ask this question... so forgive me if I'm using odd terms here, or overdescribing.
So I have purchased many scenario pdf's ... and have GM'd a few of them via pbp... When doing so, I tend to copy the maps directly from the pdf and paste them into whatever map tool is appropriate at the time.
In most cases, this works just fine, and conveniently strips off the text and other GM-only indicators that might be on the map as it appears in the scenario.
The problem I'm having comes with pages where the map is not very tall and formatted to print at the top of the page.
(A perfect example of this is scenario 4-15 The Cyphermage Dillema ... the map of the Lionfish on page 12)
For some reason, whatever technique is used to create the pdf's has the background image (sort of a brown paper texture) layered over top of the top part of every page, so for small maps, I can't select the map, as I get the background image instead. For larger maps, its not an issue, as I can select the bottom of the map, and avoid the background.
Is there a way I can select the map instead of the background in these cases?
(And no, clipping tools et al, are not the answer, as I'm trying to not get the text and such along with)
I can do this for 90% of everything else, just not maps in this very specific formatting/size interaction.
In fact, if I use the earlier released 'Special' version of my example scenario above (the EXE version that comes in the same download) I can select the image just fine, as it does not have the same background image (it's a green pattern across the top, instead of the brown one across the top and down the left)
