Select the "PDF" drop-down menu and click "Save PDF to iPhoto." Preview will automatically save each page of the PDF as a JPEG. Apple makes is easy to convert PDF files to JPEG files with the Mac's Preview software.Ĭlick the "File" menu and choose "Print." For example, if you need to include pages from the PDF in a presentation, or if you want to optimize something for the Web you may choose to convert the file to a JPEG. However, there are times it may be necessary to convert a PDF file to a JPEG. The PDF format was created by Adobe to share documents across programs and computer platforms. This example workflow worked for me in Mac OS 10.4.How to Convert PDF Files to JPEG on a Mac The text field next to new name can either be pre-populated with the original PDF's name, or you can check Show Action When Run under Options so that the items can be renamed on the fly each time the workflow is run. To rename converted items while also making them sequential, try selecting the new name radio button in Automator's Rename Finder Items action. Set sourceFiles to choose filewith prompt "Select PDF files" of type NOTE: this script assumes you're converting to jpg files If you select another output format in the action this script will Set the parameters for the conversion in the action. The user needs to create an Automator action with Render Pages as Images as the single action. The actual conversion uses the Automator action Render PDF Pages as Images. The converted JPG files wil have the name of the original PDF files with the extension changed to JPG. So my question is given the return of the Automator run as a do shell script what is a more correct way to handle it? I managed to rip it apart to get to the filepaths and the script works but it seems really kludgey. The Automator action run as a shell script seems to return a list of filename aliases but the return value while looking like a list didn't behave as a list.
One question for the Applescripters here. Decided to finish this up as an interesting exercise.
