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

Edit: The proper way to add to the print menu is to:

1) Open Automator and select "Print Plugin"

2) Then in Automator select "RenderPDF Pages as Images" and "Move Finder Items"

3) Save

Thank you @Tony T1

Registered myself on discussions.apple.com only to reply to you!

Was converting a long PDF doc to images and was unable to find anything to automate it.

And I never had tried automator, nor did I ever know that such a powerful thing existed on my machine.

Thanks for the screenshots. Made my day.

Cheers

Tony - i've struggled to use Automator in the past but this example has not only solved my problem of wanting to print a multi-page PDF as individual JPEGs, it has also introduced me to Automator!! THANK YOU!!! 🙂

thank you Tony, that was a great help there

Awesome, thank you so much! 13 seconds vs 30 minutes to complete the task!!!

Hi Tony! I'm having difficulty following your steps even though they are clear. I'm just not the greatest at this... Anyway I have a 71 page pdf in preview I would like to turn into JPEGs. I was able to add "pdf to jpg" in Automater but can't locate where the file goes or what its name is. Can you assist me in that?

The images are in $TMPDIR.

You need to add the Move Finder Items Action to move them to the Desktop (or a Folder of your choice)

Thanks! it worked for me!

WoW, perfect!

Thank you🙂🙂🙂

Thank you a lot!!

Appreciated!

Thanks! worked like charm.

That dialogue option is not available in my El Capitain version of Preview. Could you elaborate?
