I was able to extract the Joystick and Throttle graphics from the TARGET pdf files by importing the pdf's into Corel Draw x4. Using the convert to text option, this loads all the button names as text, and maintains the throttle and joystick graphics in bmp format.

Here is an example of what I was able to do:



Worked fine for me, but I don't know how you could do it without a pretty strong graphics package like Corel.
As far as whether it is allowed? Uh...I hope so.......Doh!!

@Zoid1,

Maybe you could upload the two unchanged converted files so we can use them as well in more common programs like Paint?
Allowed, must be yes. In good old Foxy we could do it and I think it will be a (far?) future tool in TARGET.

Thanks.

Yep zoid1
thats is what i'm looking for smile

But the setup in the pdf file is fine for me, i just need a way of putting my own text in there smile

I might go cheap and take a printscrn and go into paint.

It dosen't need to be fancy wink as long as it works hehe.

You don't need to use printscrn (and you will loose some resolution doing so)

Just right button click with your mouse on any of the images above and select "Save Picture As..." from the menu.
Save the file as a *.jpg image on your hard drive and you can load it directly into Paint
