Saving a Pages file as a jpg

I am using Pages from iWork 06. I want to save/turn the file I created in Pages into/as a jpg file. Is this at all possible? Or is there another process first to change it from pdf to jpg.

Thank you

Not directly from Pages, but you can do it with the software on your Mac. Export or Print your Pages document as a PDF & open that PDF in Preview. Use the selection tool to select the area you want. You can crop & save as .jpg, but I recommend going to the File menu in Preview & choosing New From Clipboard to make a new file. This is because some programs, Pages in particular, will always "see" the unselected area & paste the whole thing. I also suggest using .png rather than .jpg. .jpg is a "lossy" format, .png will be much clearer.
