Need a script to batch extract 1st page of multiple pdfs

I am trying to batch extract the first page of multiple (a couple hundred) pdfs and then convert those individually extracted pdfs to jpeg. I've tried the Extract to folder script but according to the Action Wizard there is a syntactical error that I can't seem to figure out.  I have access to Acrobat 9 and Acrobat DC.  Please help!

there is a batch/Action script here for extracting the first 2 pages of a PDF, you could easily modify it to just extract the first. It's the last Action listed on the page
