I’ve got a couple of .pdf files that are quite big images and I would like to convert them to .jpg format.

Does anyone have any idea if this is possible, and if so how I can do it simply?

I don’t have access to anything like Photoshop at the moment otherwise I’d do it through that.

Cheers.

Cheap and cheerful way: display the PDF on screen, take a screenshot (or sue teh Windows snipping tool).

Press Alt-printscreen, paste into Paint?

paint.net is a great, free graphics manipulation tool.

If it’s too big to capture on screen

If you’re using a proper computer, just open the PDF in Preview and then save it as a JPG 8)

😆 Cheers Davy.

I’d love to use the print screen method, but as I said , they’re big images that won’t fit on screen, and I’m hoping to retain the size.

Might give that pdf2jpg converter ago, thanks jota.

That worked brilliantly thanks, quick, simple and nothing that I needed to download onto my work laptop.

Cheers jota. 😀
