I've got a few Icons that I think will make choice Buddy Images. Of course, iChat doesn't recognize the image when dragged. Any ideas? Thx

Yup. Another utility to try is "IconGrabber" (freeware) and the main competitor to Pixadex, Chickenbyte's Iconbox.

You could put the icon on a white background and make is the size you want. Command + Shift + 4 screen shot it to about the size you need it. Open the .pdf in Preview and export to a format that you can use as the buddy icon, I doubt you can use .pdf files as the buddy icons.
