gimp will render a PDF at any DPI you like and can then save it in any
raster form you want, be it PNG, GIF, JPG etc. And it's free. and works very
well on Windows as well as everything else.

But that will only give you screen resolution - whereas the original PDF
file may be much higher res.

Hardly.

A Linux file I was using in Ubuntu UE could do batch of hundreds of
files from one type to another.

I forget how but it was a piece of cake.

In Acrobat Reader, click "Edit" and then "Take a snapshot". Cursor becomes
a cross. Click and drag to highlight the area you want to turn into a JPG.
Then open Paint, or any other image program, paste the image and save in
whatever format you want.

Good for taking a section. Sometimes you may have to look under "Tools"
or "Selection Tool".

Or just "Copy File to Clipboard" and paste to Paint, etc. Note that
these methods just do one "page" at a time, not a whole multi page document.

You have several suggestions. However, yet another way is to use
'Bullzip PDF Printer'.

As well as producing PDF files from almost anything, Bullzip* can
produce eight other image formats - including JPG.
*I almost always use Bullzip (freeware) to produce PDFs.
http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php
Note: Also needs Ghostscript V8.6.4 or later.

I thought that this Bullzip thing sounded quite useful, so I downloaded and
installed it, which all went ok. However, it seemed to bolt itself in as the
default 'printer', and completely removed any reference to the 'real' HP
hardware printer. Thinking that it had just set itself up as the default, I
went into control panel to put the HP back to that status, and Lo ! it had
gone from the list ... So I then had to re - add it as a new shared network
printer, and make sure that it was set as the default. Am I missing
something here ? I have to have the HP as the default, otherwise the missus
and so on won't understand when they come to print anything. Now that I've
re-instated the HP as the default printer, Bullzip is still in the list, but
obviously as a selectable alternative. Have I got it right now ?

Just discovered that Photoshop 7 will do it. Don't know about earlier
versions.

It's a while since I installed (or updated) Bullzip, and I don't recall
any problems. However, when installing it, there could well be a
question like "Do you want to make Bullzip your default printer". Maybe
you missed it and let it do it, while I spotted it, and said "No".

However, I'm surprised that it removed the incumbent default HP printer
from the list of printers, instead of just displacing it. I have several
printers listed (mostly PDF printers), and I've never had one
spontaneously removed when installing any of them.

It looks like you have - but, Bullzip should not have removed the
existing default HP.

Yes Ian, that was my feeling too. I'm pretty sure that I didn't miss any
questions about defaults. I've been using computers a very long time, and I
am always extremely careful to note all the installation options on any new
piece of software that I'm installing, purposely to avoid this sort of
thing. For instance, I always look for an option to install the software
somewhere other than on the C drive, as I like to keep that for OS stuff
only. I have another completely separate physical drive for applications.
Also, I am always on the lookout for these installations wanting to add
taskbars on the screen and background programs that I don't want.

As soon as I had installed it, I opened up a Word document to see how it
would present in the print options. It was there, in the window, as the now
default printer. I did the drop-down to re-find the HP hardware printer, and
it was not there, which is when I went to the control panel to see what was
going on. There was no reference to the HP at all, so I did an 'add
printer', told it that it was a network printer, and let it go search. It
found it and identified it correctly, and then asked if it should use the
driver that it had already got installed for this printer. I told it yes,
and there it then was, back on the screen, and set as the default. When I
then went back and checked in my Word document, the HP was back to being in
the window as the default, and when I opened the drop-down, Bullzip was
there as a selectable option, which worked ok.

Puzzling ... :-\

Useful to read everyone else's tips, thanks; I've been converting PDF to
JPG for a while, and I never thought of using GIMP, so I'll try that
next time. Up to now, I've been using PDF-XChange Viewer:
http://www.tracker-software.com/prod...xchange-viewer
there's a free version; it's really a PDF reader, but does a nice job of
exporting PDF to JPG, and will do things like create 5 JPG files from a
five-page PDF.

Would you believe that I've been using PDF-XChange Viewer* for several
years, and I've never used that facility? It's not something I'd want to
do very often, but (for me) it's the obviously the easiest to do it.

1. www.zamzar.com are good at that.

2. In google docs you can convert pdf's to docs format and then download them as word doc or openoffice doc. If you open the docx or odt with a zip-manager you can extract the pictures.
