This is not a direct answer, but you can just copy the pixels.  Scale the PDF so that the equation you want is nicely readable on your screen at a size appropriate for the Math site.  Do a screen capture (usually something like Shift-PrintScreen), paste into some image editing software (Paint might work), crop to the equation, export to a new image file, then insert that image file into your post on the Math site.
