Hi! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm running out of places haha.
In the past, I could right click a map and "Save As" to download the map. Which made it perfect for applying it to virtual systems like Roll20.
I can't do this with Night of the Gray Death however. The map on page 2 and 75 work fine, however any other map does not work. Clicking the page grabs the border image instead of the map.
Trying to take the map image from page 9 instead grabs This
I could use a snippet tool, but that grabs all the text, room labels, and X's and O's.
Is there a way to get these maps? Since roll20 doesn't have this book available, I have no way to bring these maps into roll20 without some heavy photoshop work.

PDFs as a publishing method are great for lightweight readership options, but aren't optimized for use in VTTs. Unfortunately, page 9 is a compilation of maps, so the usual tools don't work. I don't have any better suggestions than the ones you've listed.
We do realize that our customers are using our products in VTTs and working with our partners to discuss how best to support them. We'll update everyone as we have more news on the VTT front.
Fair nuff! Just wish there was a way to right click the maps and not the border image haha. Photoshop it is!
Thanks for the response Tonya :)

Hey, there's a pretty easy way to get images out of Paizo's PDFs, which also solves the weird transparency issues that sometimes occur with the "save as" method.
I wrote a post about it a year and a half ago:
Ignore the thread topic, this was a specific issue with some of the maps.
Big thing there is use TokenTool, which has been updated to include exporting to webp format and to export all the images at once.
I can confirm it reads the Night of Gray Death map image on page 9 just fine, and because the text isn't actually part of the image, that is not included in the extract, just like you want.

Nice! Will test out when I get home!
It works. RicoTheBold, you are a true hero.
