Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpeg for every page?

Use Automator:

I found that the Graphic Converter app did this job really neatly: GraphicConverter on the Mac App Store

You can use the free trial, no need to pay if you are only using it a few times.

Once you have the app on your Mac, go to edit > convert & modify - then use the interface to pick your PDF and convert it to images.

I'm getting the same problem. Bizarrely, maybe pre 10.7 I didn't have this problem, but now I can't find a way round it...

I'm having the exact same problem as well. Lion has so many things broken that I'm one issue away from trashing everything and getting back to SL...

Wow! I never heard of Automator before, but after reading your post and experimenting with Automator for five minutes, my pdf images are saved as individual jpgs. Thanks!

Thank YOU!!!!!!

Thank you so much! Simple, effective and easy!

Thankyou multiple jpeg converion from pdf so easy

hi! can you help me with Automator? I can open the application but that's about it. Trying to convert multi-page PDF to JPEG.... Thanks so much!

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."

I find Aitomator unecessarily complicated, and unfortunately the thumbnails suggestion by tenders only exported the first page, no matter which thumbnail was selected.

But I found that Print > PDF > Save PDT To Folder As JPEG worked well enough.

I don't see "Save PDT To Folder As JPEG" on my system.

And once the 3 process Automator is saved as an Automator App, it's a one-click and select PDF solution (not complicated at all)

...also, you can save the Automator App as a PDF printing option

(select Edit Menu and the +):

(Delete the 1st Action to Ask for Finder Items)

If it's not standard, I don't know how it got there, but...

Could be that Aperture created the option. Not on my system (10.8.4), but I'll bet that if you go to /Library/PDF Services/ and open that workflow, that it'll be close to what I posted.
