How to export PDF as image file?

So I have done this dozens of times in the past but today when I went to export a PDF to an image I realized I cannot seem to find image files anywhere on the list of types to export to? All I am seeing is .docx, .doc, .rtf, .xlsx, .pptx ...none of which help with my current project.

What changed and why? How do I recover this functionality?

Edit: Wow Adobe really screwed this up didnt they? Just discovered that I cannot even print as an image! Seriously...do I need to downgrade to Acrobat Pro 9? Really fed up with this.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Adobe Reader does not support conversion of pdf to image. You can achieve the same through online Export PDF service: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf

    Let us know if that works.

    Acrobat Reader is not the same as Acrobat Pro. Reader is the free application for viewing/printing pdf files. Not for exporting or editing.

    As for "Downgrading" to Acrobat Pro 9, you won't be downgrading since they are not the same application.
