PDF files to jpeg???

Have just spent the last two days scanning all my old photos onto computer but can't use them as I want. They're PDF files and I need them to be jpeg. Can I convert them? If so, does anyone know how?

Am very stupid in this area! Please help!

Re: PDF files to jpeg???

Hmmmm... that's unfortunate - normally if they are in PDF it's for display only, so it reduces the resolution of the image - it still is a JPG, just embeded within the PDF (Like you can put a photo onto a word document).
I'm fairly sure that if you managed to rip it out of the PDF it would only be of use for looking at and printing fuzzy - although I could be mistaken.

Type into google "pdf jpg convert" and pick from the 2,350,000 results

Re: PDF files to jpeg???

Normally, scanning software allows you to choose between PDF & TIFF. TIFFs are easy to convert if you can't work with them directly.
It may mean re-scanning them all if your software will do it.
Unfortunately, the PDF process does reduce the quality of images in order to make smaller file sizes.

Try using PDF Image Extraction Wizard. It's shareware (and cheap), but the unregistered version will extract the first 3 images from each file - so not a problem if you have a separate pdf for each photo.
