I found out about this tool last night after realizing how long it would take to convert over 30 pdf files into jpg manually. The Acrobat converter handled it in less than a minute and saved me a lot of time.

Currently, the only options you have when converting from pdf to jpg is Convert To (png/jpg/tiff) and Image Quality. I wonder if we might ever be able to set custom file names for the converted images? Right now, the converter packages the jpgs into a zip folder, the latter of which takes its name from the original pdf. Inside the zip folders, though, the naming convention for the jpg files themselves is "timestamp-UUID.jpg" which ends up looking as something like

This can get a bit unorganized when working with a lot of images, so it could be handy to be able to name them ahead of time.

Great work, I'll definitely be using this often.

I have learned a lot from this. I am very happy that I used Adobe tools to create a PDF of Picasso, which turned out very well.

I use Acrobat all the time to convert files. Most often, with things like turning PDFs into spreadsheets for financial statements, and converting PDFs into Word documents for editing. It’s such a time-saver for both work and personal tasks.
