Convert PDF to JPG? - DinerDave - 04-28-2016
Can this be done? I'm trying to put something in PDF form on FB, but it won't allow me to, although I'm posting pics there all the time. Is the anyway to convert a PDF or make it so I can post somewhere?
I only know enough to be dangerous, OK, well moderately annoying.
TIA
Dave

Open in Preview, save as.

Or if it's not too big, just Command-Shift-4 a screenshot.

You can get "Save As ..." by holding down the option key while selecting the File pull down menu. Save changes to "Save As..."

Preview only converts one page at a time for some reason - maybe only the first page of a PDF.
If you want to convert a multi-page PDF into JPGs, you have to use an Automator script.
Automator is a very cool bundled OS X utility that doesn't get s lot of press. But I also wonder why Preview isn't a lot better at convertimg PDFs to JPGs.

As a side note, another case of Apple fixing something that wasn't broken...
