Batch PDF to JPG

[jimr58428308]

Hello! Do I need Acrobat X to convert pdf to jpg in batch mode (many files at once)? I tried setting up a batch sequence in Acrobat 9 to no avail. Thanks

You need Acrobat Pro. Currently Adobe only sells the DC version.

Sorry - I have Acrobat 9 Pro. Do I need Acrobat X pro? The sequence "Export All Images as JPEG" doesn't seem to work. It just takes my original PDFs, and copies them as PDF to the output location. Thanks

It should be possible to do it with version 9. Try using this code in your batch sequence:

this.saveAs({cPath: this.path.replace(".pdf", ".jpg"), cConvID: "com.adobe.acrobat.jpeg"});

I wasn't looking closely enough - I noticed that under Output Options, there is the option to export to JPEG - that seems to be working nicely. Out of curiosity, where in the tool would I put the code if I needed to go that route? Thanks!

What do you mean? If you're doing it directly via the Output Options then you don't need the code.

"Export images as JPEG" probably doesn't do what you want. It takes each image (probably a photo) in the file and saves it separately. No photo, nothing to save. You probably want to look at the save options for the batch sequence (the sequence can do nothing).
