Hi
I want to convert a pdf file so that each page (text) will be a jpg image. I tried these two but fail:
-o Output.jpg -out.jpg -xall -input.pdf
-xall -o test.jpg input.pdf
Also I want to know if I can resize the images to 80%.
Please help and thank you.

Hello ! Welcome aboard !
• Just a crappy workaround :
- Set your PDF pages in order they fit the "View" window, then Alt+PrintScreen >> Close the page >>
Import Clipboard >> Crop >> Save as JPG.
- For each, indeed…
Kind regards
Claude

Thank you for quick reply.
I found how to do it using this but have problem:
-xall -out jpeg -o test.jpg input.pdf
It seems that the pages are reduced and the jpg are compressed so the result is blur. I want to keep original size and not to compress, or to have controll these two. How do I do that ?
thank you

Finally I made it work but when i gave to a friend the same script he got an error message:
G:\XNVIEW>nconvert.exe -xall -out jpeg -dpi 100 -o x.jpg a.pdf
** NCONVERT v4.95 (c) 1991-2008 Pierre-E Gougelet (May 1 2008/17:48:32) **

** This is a freeware software (for non commercial use)
Error: Don't know how to read this picture (a.pdf)
Conversion of a.pdf into x.jpg OK
What he makes wrong ?
And why the last line say "OK" ?
Thank you

just for general knowledge:
Was it installed by another program or by XnView ?
Thank you

Instead of ghostscript you can use a very simple opensource library
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/home.html or free software
http://pdf-to-jpg-convert.en.softonic.com
ghostscript is more of a general conversion and virtual printer software while the above ones are specific to PDF to JPG image conversion.
