Method Two: Online Conversion

1. 1
   Access the online file converter of your choice. Note that not all converters can convert from PDF format to JPEG. A few that can include:
   • Go2Convert. This conversion site features a lot of conversion protocols, and even lets you specify the size and quality of the converted files.
   • Neevia Document Converter. Neevia lets you pick from several popular file formats, set the dpi resolution, and the quality range—from 30 to 100. It also gives you the option of conversion to browser (which can be slow) or they will send you the finished file via email.
     
     
     
   • ZamZar. ZamZar features a large list of conversions. Upload your file, select the file type for your converted file, then enter your email address—they will send you the converted file via email.
   • YouConvertIt. Like ZamZar, YouConvertIt emails you your finished file.
2. 2
   Select the PDF file you want to convert. While the exact methods vary, clicking "Browse" or "Choose File" will give you an Open dialog to choose your desired file.
   • Note that most online file converters have a posted file size limit. If your PDF file is larger than this limit, you'll need to try a more permissive converter.
3. 3
   Select the target format (JPEG) if the converter offers multiple options.
   • If you've found a converter that doesn't allow you to save files in JPEG format, try saving the file as PNG format instead. You can then use almost any simple graphics viewing or editing program to open the PNG file and save it to JPEG format.
4. 4
   Select a delivery option for the finished file. Your options typically include e-mail delivery as an attachment, waiting in your browser for the conversion to finish, or receiving an e-mailed link to download the new file.

Method Four: Software Conversion

1. 1
   Download a stand-alone software conversion program. There are several companies that provide free format conversion software. Some applications that can handle a PDF to JPEG conversion include:
   • Universal Document Converter (PC only)
     
     
     
   • Omniformat. (PC only)
     • Note that if you use Omniformat, you must download and install Pdf995 before you install Omniformat.
2. 2
   Install and run the downloaded software. The specific method for converting PDF files to JPEG format will vary between software programs, but some common procedures include:
   • Specifying a source PDF file, or dragging and dropping the PDF files into the window to automatically convert them. With some converter programs you must open the PDF file directly with the converter program, then designate the new file format and save location.
   • You might also need to specify a destination file format (in this case, JPEG).
   • Copying PDF files to a folder that the program monitors. When triggered, the program will convert every file in the watched folder into JPEG format.
   • In some cases, you may need to open the PDF file and select the file converter program you installed as the print driver. Adjusting the print properties then allows you to choose the destination JPEG format.

Method Five: On Macintosh OS X

1. 1
   Launch Preview. Preview is an image viewing and conversion application that is included in Macintosh OS X. It provides a quick and easy method for working with many image formats, including PDF. If it's not in your dock, you can find it in your Applications folder.
2. 2
   Open your PDF. From the File menu, select Open... Preview will present you with an Open dialog box, where you can open one or more files this way. This is useful if you have a lot of conversions to perform.
   
   
   
3. 3
   View thumbnails. Click the Thumbnail button at the top of the Preview window, then on the left side, scroll to the target page—the page you want to convert to a JPEG file—and click on it.
   
   
   
   • Note: you can only convert a single page at a time with this method.
4. 4
   Right-click on the target page. This opens a contextual menu. If you have a single-button mouse, Control-left click will accomplish the same thing.
5. 5
   "Select Export As..." will bring up an Export dialog box. Choose your destination, and from the Format menu, select JPEG.
   
   
   
6. 6
   Click Save. Your file is converted.
