You used to be able to save a pdf file to iphoto when you would print a document and in the left hand corner where there is a pdf option box, you could save your document as a pdf into iphoto, making it a .jpg file automatically.
This feature is not available in OS X Lion anymore that I can tell.
DO NOT BUY OS X LION! It's a joke.
OS X LION-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7)
You can add this using Automator:
- Run automator, select File->New, chose Print Plugin
- From the PDFs part of the library drag "Render PDF Pages as Images" to the workflow on the right, set resolution to 200.
- From the Photos part of the library drag "Import Files into iPhoto" to the workflow section.
- Save the workflow
That should get you back this feature.
I am so pleased that you note on here. I have been fooling around with this for quite awhile and in just a couple of minutes you solved my problem! Thank you so much!🙂
rbii... Your solution is/was absolutely PERFECT. Many, many thanx!
I cannot find my pdf photos in the Photos part of the library. They are on my desktop. The only option Automator gives me is to select New Album or Existing Album. But my pdf photos are not in an album yet, they are in a folder on my desktop. Can someone help?
Thanks a lot, you gave me the solution I was looking for!!!
This is great when in any other App but PDF. Anyway to take a existing PDF and make it a JPEG, without going back to your original doc and now under the print conmmand resave "PDF to iPhoto"
Note: "saving is not supported in PDF printing".."use Save instead"
Does PDF have export as....?
Yay - it worked. Thank you rbis so much.
Save a pdf to iPhoto option gone for good?
