Need to convert PDF to JPG

[Chewbacca 7781]

I have searched Google and found free software to do this, but I'm wary of doing it without a recommendation.  Has anyone used any of these and are they worth a shit, or am I better off just buying something like Bluebeam or Acrobat?  I'd rather not spend the money as this is not something I regularly need to do.

If this is just a one time deal: Print screen button, paste into your photo editing software, crop edges, save as jpg

Just duplicate the file and then experiment with the free software. If you use mac, I think you can do this with preview.

On a windows box, I used to "cut" or "copy" portions of images from a pdf.  When I would paste them into a word doc or ppt or what have you, they were jpgs.

Maybe something has changed in windows or with Reader, but I would assume you could select the entire page and paste it or "new from clipboard" in a jpg viewer like irfan view.

Forgot about the snipping tool.  That will work, I think.

I have the paid version of acrobat and will do it for you. Simple as file > save as. PM if interested.

Yeah, any Adobe pro version let's you save as a multitude of file types, including jpg.

bring out the gimp!

open source competitor to photoshop, does everything I've needed to do for years. It will allow you to open a pdf and export to jpg.

don't let the name fool you, it has nothing to do with pulp fiction, it's short for great image manipulation program or some such.

Don't even need to use the tool, I don't think.  Just draw a cut/copy box from corner to corner on the page and ctl c.

Granted, I have been doing this on a Mac since Windows 7, but I did it on 7 and XP too.

SmallPDF will do it and I think it has a free 14 day trial

It's funny how some of our 'workarounds' happen.  "Gotdammit, I need this file done by the meeting at 9:00 AM(it's 8:30.)" 

Takes cellphone or ipad and shoots pic of file...

Some of my coworkers give me shit for duct-taping/ McGuyvering e-files/ presentations all the time.  " but who do you call when you're in a bind?"  LOlz.

I will do it for $200 in Bitcoins.

That's what I do. Save as a .tif if I want to resize. Check your jpg save settings. I use 5% compression for most things, but a lot of people say 10 is acceptable. But you should check the settings just to make sure.

You don't even need software for this:

Obviously, I wouldn't upload something with SSN's or other personal info, but I use it all the time here at work.  Quick, easy, and free.
