I read in the manual you can import bmp, jpeg and other image files - didn't see anything about PDF though.
Here's the Craft Robo Master software manual: http://www.graphteccorp.com/craftrob...nual_CC300.pdf The detail of the cutting is quite impressive on some of the models in the video: YouTube - CraftROBO's Channel Terry

Guy Fawkes was a plotter and look where that got him.
Yes other programs can open .pdf and muck around with them but (imho) best conversions from .pdf are done with Ghostscript and it's gui Ghostview. Go to GSview Readme and do exactly what it says for your system. Once installed start by forgetting about anything else it can do and, having opened the .pdf file, go to File/Convert and choose format and resolution.

Doesn't Photoshop and/or Adobe Illustrator have the capabiltity to import and convert pdf to jpeg? I thought I did that once. Someone with a better brain than I may know for sure.

Illustrator or Acrobat can do that, sure, after all pdf is made by Adobe. But their stuff is way to expensive to use it just for a few simple tasks. Don't get me wrong, Photoshop is awesome, but IMHO it's juts to expensive for casual use.
