Saving PDF as jpeg

Adobe updated my reader to 9. In my previous version, I could save a PDF to a jpeg. This was very usefull to me with several programs.
The new version 9 does not appear to have that functionality any longer.
Questions
Can the function be found in version 9?
If not, where could I find, download and install a previous version of reader that was so usefull for me?
Thanks

Sounds like you went from Acrobat to Reader (which isn't an upgrade but a downgrade). Reader can't convert PDF's to .jpg. It's basically an application to view and print PDF's.
If Acrobat is gone from your system, you will want to uninstall Reader then reinstall Acrobat being sure not to have both installed on your system (having both can cause other issues).

Automatic inverted colors when saving PDF as JPEG file

Every time I save a pdf as an image file the colors of the image are inverted. I've done this before using Acrobat, but since I've downloaded it onto my new laptop (maybe it's because it's a newer version) it automatically inverts the image colors. How can I avoid this?

You should ask in Acrobat

Colour problems saving Ilustrator file to pdf and jpeg (blacks go brown + some quality is lost)

Hi,
I was wandering id anybody could help me with a problem that has plagued me for a few projects now. I can't seem to find a solution.
When I have a file in Illustrator that I want to save as or export as a PDF or JPEG whenever I save it the colours shift and the quality drops.
Most noticiably black boxes goes to a muddy brown when saved to JPEGS, but I have also noticed tones in Photographs change quite a lot when saving as PDF.
I have tried to tweek every type of setting there is. higher resoulution, compression, sampling, down sampling, PDF preset, print quality etc.but nothing seems to sort it out. PDF's arent as much as a problem as the JPEG but the only way I have managed to get a PDF up to a reasonable standard is by wacking everything up so there is no compression or downsampling which makes ginat files I cant email....
Im sure the problem probably lies within the combination of each of these together but I cant seem to find out what that is.
Has anybody else had this problem or know how to fix it? I have been searching blogs for so long?
Thanks
Leo
(Before saving to JPEG)
(After)
Notice the black box with text in has turned a bit brown
Also brown in the seat base has gone more orange and the whole picture has generaly lost quality.

Leo,
The file is CMYK Color Mode. Do you export to a CMYK JPEG or an RGB one?
It is conceivable that the colour conversion of photographs (which are originally RGB) may cause the PDF issue.
Obviously, you will have to choose a Color Mode. If (also) intended for print, the obvious choice is CMYK, but that often affects the appearance or artwork/images originally created in RGB.
Colour management/settings and calibration may also be significant.

Cannot print to PDF file after saving it to JPEG

I get the following error when I try to print to a .pdf file that I just saved to a .jpeg.
"Adobe PDF" cannot access the file because it is in use by another applicaiton or process:
C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\junk.pdf
Verify that the file is not open by another application or process and try again.
I am using Acrobat X Pro on x64 Win 7.
Here are the steps I take to produce this error:
1. Print any file to the "Adobe PDF" printer
2. Save that .pdf file as a .jpeg
3. Close JUST that particular .pdf file while leaving Acrobat X up (clicking the small black x on the top right).
4. Try to print any other file to "Adobe PDF" with the same name as the .pdf file I just closed.
I do not get the error if I do not save to .jpeg, or when I close Acrobat X completely, but the user who is complaining about this error keeps multiple .pdf files open and doesn't want to have to close Acrobat X out completely every time.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Pat. Tried each, restarted computer each time; tried the "Accept" routine several days ago - it worked briefly and then stopped. Uninstalled Reader and Flash as well. Strange thing with Flash, one of my online broker programs provides streaming of CNBC. When I clicked on the CNBC option to initiate CNBC, I got a message saying that I needed to load Flash. I did, and it loaded again with no mention of Flash having already been installed.
Using Internet Explorer works, as well as, clicking on the .pdf file within Windows Explorer (WE). Expanding the window in WE makes it large enough to read. I would still like to find a way to open the files as they are designed to open.
I have done all of the Adobe updates as they have been presented. Microsoft updates load automatically, and restart my computer in the process. I do not look to see what the updates have been. I figure if there was not a need, Microsoft would not make the updates.

I cannot export my saved book to pdf or jpeg or blurb

i cannot export my saved book to pdf or jpeg or blurb. Nothing works. If i start a new book , then it works but i would have to redo the entire layout.
Anyone have the same problem or/and anyone could help?
Thank you

Yes i do use LR4.3 .Idid upgrade to L4 from L3 , only because the book feature,to switch from blurb to PDF. I do use mostly my own images or combination of photo montage, but sometimes color backgrounds or lightroom graphics.
I just reinstalled all my backgrounds and it seems like to work now.No explaination of what went wron (or what is wrong) as i am used to lightroom .May the fact that i am tweeking the layout (using the print layout) or the padding feature quite a bit but that's what the software is supposed to do.

One page displays as negative image when saving PDF to reduced size in Preview

Imac Intel Mid 2007
OS X 10.5.8
Preview v4.2
I have a multi-page PDF I'm trying to save to a reduced size.
The document was constructed of separate pages, some of which were created as Photoshop PDFs in Photoshop CS4 and others were saved as PDF's from Word. After moving over the individual PDF's to the side bar, the document saves fine in Preview at full size. When I use the quartz filter to "Save As" "Reduced File Size" one page saves as a negative image and the others are all fine.
One suggestion I saw in a similar thread was that the mode in PS might be CMYK, however it is not and it is RGB.
Any help as to solving this would be greatly appreciated.

If I select all pages 'save as' will only save out one page and not all.
JPEG is single-page.

Elaborate, please.
Is there a way to save to pages out in one go to jpeg where I can adjust the dpi setting?
Yes. Build an Automator workflow using the PDFs > Render PDF Pages as Images action.
Once I have the reduced jpegs it's easy enough to reimport into preview and save as a pdf.
If the desired final output is multi-page PDF, no need to go through all that. You can do the task in Acrobat Pro (PDF Optimizer), or in Preview (Save as > PDF > Quartz Filter). If the current Reduce File Size filter doesn't provide satisfactory quality, use ColorSync Utility to duplicate it (or make a new filter from scratch) and adjust it to fit your needs.

Applescript to convert PDF to JPEG using Preview?

I know there's an existing script available on the internet that converts PDFs to JPEGs (it's here: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=25350) BUT, for whatever reason, the quality, even when set to 600dpi, is crap. I get better results simply opening the PDF in Preview then saving as JPEG... even a 150dpi JPG from Preview is higher quality than a 600dpi file from this script I found...
So, what I need help with is creating a applescript that converts PDF's to JPEGs using Preview (or whatever, as long as the quality of the JPEG is good). I have very little scripting experience so help is appreciate.
Ideas?
Thanks.

Decided to finish this up as an interesting exercise. Hope you find it useful.
One question for the Applescripters here. The Automator action run as a shell script seems to return a list of filename aliases but the return value while looking like a list didn't behave as a list. I managed to rip it apart to get to the filepaths and the script works but it seems really kludgey . So my question is given the return of the Automator run as a do shell script what is a more correct way to handle it?

          Convert pfd files to jpg images.
          The converted JPG files wil have the name of the original PDF files with the extension changed to JPG.
          The actual conversion uses the Automator action Render PDF Pages as Images.
          The user needs to create an Automator action with Render Pages as Images as the single action.
          Set the parameters for the conversion in the action.
          NOTE: this script assumes you're converting to jpg files If you select another output format in the action this script will
          need to be modified.

Hi Frank--
I tried the script you wrote and created the Automator workflow with the single action as requested, saved it to the desktop then selected it when your script's dialogue requested it. However, at that point your script game me the following error. Ideas? I did save the workflow as a workflow and I selected it directly, so I'm not sure why it thinks that the "workflow file does not exist" ? :
error "The workflow file does not exist. 255" number -2700 from «script» to item

Converting PDF to JPEG--tiny file, not full size image.

using photoshop cs3
End result is I want a jpeg of the same size as original. here is what i do and what happens.
open pdf in photoshop; save as "jpeg"
jpeg shrinks to an inch wide, from an original 8.5 inches.
I've tried saving with compression off, saving pdf in various formats, nothing seems to work and my jpegs always save out very tiny.
any help would be appreciated! thanks.

I opened the file I attached to my mail in Photoshop and that's when it went small. I just looked on Apple forum and found a little button on the bottom right that was compressing the file. I hit "actual size" and have fixed the problem.
It was a Mail problem, (or my problem:) not Photoshop or PDF.
Thanks for your time and response...

Problems creating PDF from JPEGs.

I am using Acrobat Standard 6.0.5. I am having trouble creating a PDF from certain JPEGs. I created these JPEGs using a scanner and Photoshop Elements 5, saving them as 8-bit grayscale at 300dpi. When I create a PDF from these JPEGs in Acrobat, I get a blank, 1 inch x 1 inch image. I've tried zooming in and out and the image is still blank. The funny thing is that I can extract the JPEGs from the newly created PDF, so they are somehow present; I just can't see them.
Some other data points:
1. I can create a PDF from JPEGs from my digital camera. These are 180 dpi, 24-bit color, but otherwise I don't see any notable differences.
2. I've tried converting the problematic JPEGs to 24-bit color. That made no difference.
3. I've tried converting the problematic JPEGs to JPEG2000. That *did* make a difference -- I can create a PDF from them just fine.
4. I can open the problematic JPEGs in Photoshop Elements and *print* them to PDF. That works just fine.
There's obviously something about these files that Acrobat doesn't like, or else some configuration setting in Acrobat that needs to be adjusted, but I can't figure out what it is.
Thanks in advance!

JPegs are often problems. You might try saving to TIFF instead, the standard for scanners.

An adobe acrobat image with a callout saved as a jpeg the callout is not always saved the jpeg?

About half the time the callout is not saved with the jpeg. Anyone have any ideas? I was using Acrobat 8 and tech support suggested I download the Acrobat 9 trial but I have the same problem? Help!

HI 'C' student!
Thanks for the info. I will give the Content pane a try.
I think my Word 2013 might have a bug. When i enter text into either the 'title' field or the 'description' field, the text does not move over or wrap around so that i can fully see what i've entered. i wonder if this is impacting the carry-over into the pdf file?
the company I work for does not 'officially' support this version of Word, as i am an 'early adoptor' of this version. until the rest of the company moves to this version, i'm kinda on my own. i am going to see who i can speak with to see about getting an update, though. maybe that will fix the problem.
thanks again,

I want to attached scanned documents as an attachment. So far in PDF and Jpeg the entire document appears

Summary: Sending scanned documents as an attachment. In PDF and JPEG the entire document is displayed rather than an Icon

As long as you used the paper-clip Attach icon, that should be fine.
The entire document appears to you because your Mac recognizes the document type, and displays it for you, saving you from having to mouse around and find a Reader for it. You can still use the Save icon to save a copy of only the attachment.
To avoid problems with other email readers, be sure the checkbox [√] send windows-friendly attachments is checked.
I addition, some email readers cannot cope with any attachments positioned at any place in the document other than at the very end. So make sure you move the cursor to the absolute end of the document before clicking "Attach".
If all else fails, send an email that says, "attachment to follow", then send the attachment right away in a separate email, with nothing else in the body of the message. Some use the Subject abbreviation (nt) to indicate "no text", that is, no words typed in the message portion.

Saving PDF to last folder

I have Adobe Reader X 10.0.0, PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I have been saving PDF's for years, and each time I save, it goes to the last folder I saved to? The other day, I had approximately 15 PDF's that had been scanned to me, and after I had saved 5 of these documents normally, it then started going straight to a temporary folder, and has done ever since, which means I have to go through all the folders to get the one I desire? I have spoken to our I.T. department and they believe its a problem with PDF and not with our system, and I believe otherwise. I can use Recent Places, but when you have done the same thing for years, and the amount I do, change is not always good
Has anyone encountered the same problem, and can help?

Hi Kat,
This is a bit geeky, but the signature appearance that you see on the page is not the signature, but just a graphical representation of the actual signature. The actual signature is a blob of hex encoded data in the PDF file that you don't really see. That aside...
When you create a digital signature the first thing Acrobat/Reader will ask you to do is select a digital ID to sign with. Acrobat then reads the digital ID and amasses some information to use to create the signature appearance. It then fills in the form field (a signature field is just a special use form field) with the appearance, BUT the signature still hasn't been created. The next thing Acrobat does is asks you to Save the file to disk. This is more geekiness, but it much safer to compute the signature byte range on disk then it is in memory. The simple explanation is it's harder for the bad guys to manipulate the bytes on disk then it is for them to control the bytes in memory and because a digital signature provides document security we err on the safe side and require the file to be written to disk before the signature is created. The other safety item is, we want to sign the signature appearance so that someone can't come along later and modify the appearance without breaking the signature, so it (the appearance) has to be created before the signature proper is created.
So at this point you've seen the signature appearance and thought that the signature has been created, but it hasn't. When you try to save to the network folder something is preventing Acrobat from saving the file and what ends up happening is the file is rolled back to the pre-signature state and the signature appearance is removed. The file is in essence untouched.
All of that aside (which is probably more than you really wanted to know) the real question is why can't the file be saved to the network folder. This isn't really a digital signature issue, but rather a network permissions issue.

I saw the responses on the page to opening and saving pdfs but it is cumbersome to shut down the function in Mozilla and work around it. Is there a fix coming?

Until the Firefox 23 update I had no difficulty opening or saving pdfs in Firefox, but since the most recent update (Firefox 23) I often get error messages about damaged files when I use the download button and try to open or save files. I've checked with another browser and they open or save fine. I've tried disabling the pdf but it is cumbersome. I am using MSWord 7 if that makes any difference. Is there a fix coming for this?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select Adobe Reader Plugin for Netscape (or something similar). Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpegs?

Using Preview, I export multiple page PDF as jpeg and results are the first page only as jpeg. Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpeg for every page?

Automator is great for this if you need to export many pages to JPG, or just have to do this often.
Two other quick and dirty way sto get it done:
(1) Enable thumbnail view, click on the ONE PAGE you want to convert to jpg, then choose "export." If you choose more than one page, only the first will get exported to jpg.
(2) Create a copy of the file, delete all the pages except the one you want to export to JPG, and export that page. You may be able to "undo" the delete, get all your pages back again, and re-delete all but the one you want to export, etc. I would not recommend doing this on the original version of the file because of Preview's autosave so-called "feature."
