I'm trying to figure out how to copy & paste an article from a magazine.
Well, what I've done won't work.
I have a file, on a thumbdrive, of a scanned article out of a magazine, in PDF format. I can't figure out how to get it from my thumbdrive to post it here. Can anybody help me,,, and PLEASE understand I need SIMPLE, step by step instructions. I'm a bit computer stupid. I do not understand a lot of computer language.
PS; The article is a copy of the birth of the 41 magnum, written by Elmer.

The harder part was converting pdf to image. Had do download an app to do that. Best I can remember Elmer had 2 articles. One on the 41 and another on the44

Thanks all!
Yes,,, that's the article.
I found it interesting in that he discusses the stopping power of a bigger caliber, over the 38 spl. How he says; "no substitute for a long, heavy slug in a sixgun for actual knock down killing power."
Or; "He won't need rapidity if fire if he will plant that one shot properly."
And lastly; "Any time you have to hit an adversary more than once to stop his return fire, the damn gun and load are too light!"
Love his plain spoken comments like this!
It was this article that I was thinking of when I was discussing the merits of a 9mm and more ammo, vs. many other options.
