Convert PDFs to jpegs ?

[spirit webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I need to regularly convert PDFs to jpegs. For this it seems that FW is not the answer - sadly. Does anyone know of a good, simple convertor ? I've been searching for a while but most apps seem to specialise in going the other - creating PDFs.

thanks,
S

Use the Snag-It Print Driver that comes with Snag-It ([url]www.techsmith.com[/url])

1) Open the PDF.
2) Print Document.
3) When you are prompted to select a printer, select Snagit 6
4) The PDF will spool to the print driver.
5) Snagit's Preview Window will display.
6) When you select Finish, you will be prompted for a target directory,
filename prefix, and length of the sequential number suffix. Each page will
be saved as a seperate image file.
7) In addition to JPG, you can also save as TIF, GIF, PNG, and a few others.

Cheers,
Sam

Flatten the PDFs in Photoshop before saving them, then you won't have
any trouble converting them to JPEGs in Fireworks. Better yet, do your
artwork for the Web in Fireworks. :-)

If you have Adobe Acrobat ver. 5.5 and above, it will let you convert any
multypage PDF into a set of PNGs, TIFs, JPGs or something (with the
resolution of your choice). If you don't have one, look for GhostScript (and
viewers, and plugins) at [url]http://www.ghostscript.com/[/url] - it takes some manual
configuring but it works in the end.

That's a considerably shorter list than all the things that confuse me :o(
