How can I save a PDF document as a Jpeg?

Look under the “export” item under the File menu—should find “export as image”

I don’t have an “Export” item under the File menu in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1.

I can save as text.

Adobe Photoshop can open individual pages of a PDF. From there you could save them as images one at a time.

Or, you could display an entire page of your PDF, take a screen shot (in Windows, Alt+PrtScn), and save the result to an image file. Repeat for each page. Not much better than the Photoshop approach.

Here’s a PDF-to-JPG converter that you can buy.

Or here’s an online utility that appears to be free.

I would have said the zamzar or the PrintScrn that @robmandu mentioned .
Tho i just press PrintScrn and not Alt+PrintScrn

Fyi: PrtScn alone captures the entire screen. Alt+PrtScn captures just the current active window.

@robmandu I did not know that , thank you :)

Zamzar won’t let me do it. Guess I’ll have to go with alt+prtsc. Sucks tho.

If you’re using a Mac, open the PDF in Preview (Applications > Preview – it ships on every Mac).

File > Save As > Format: JPEG > Save.

If the document has multiple pages, it will save multiple JPEGs, so it might be worth saving them into a new folder if that’s the case.

I love Preview.

I love Preview, too. Except I seem to end up with PDF docs that rely on Adobe-specific extensions or something. :-\

Sorry, I assumed that “Acrobat 9.1” meant the full version, not the Reader =)

GIMP (www.gimp.org) will also rasterize PDFs. And is a handy free image editor.

It, however, cannot deal with encrypted pdfs, so if the pdf has rights limitations set, you’re stuck with Prtsc.

Thanks to all. I use PC, so it looks like I’ll have to download GIMP.

In acrobat reader (even earlier versions), you can take snapshots and copy it to the clipboard. Go in Tools->Basic->Snapshot; select (draw) a rectangle. And, the snapshot is copied to the clipboard. You can then paste it in Paint or Word or Powerpoint or where you want it. (In powerpoint, to save it as a jpg picture, right click on the snapshot you’ve pasted, and click save picture, select your format jpg or png…In Paint, I guess you must be knowing)

To copy text from acrobat reader, just go in Tools->Basic->Select, select your text and copy it. You may then paste it in word.

To copy entire pdf file to clipboard, in adobe reader, go in Edit->Copy File to Clipboard. You may then paste it in word.

prasad says: “Go in Tools->Basic->Snapshot; select (draw) a rectangle. And, the snapshot is copied to the clipboard.”

Additionally, if you have a drawing in .pdf in vector format, you can make a very detailed .jpg by zooming to 300% and copy again (Ctrl-C). Then paste (Ctrl-V) to you imaging tool and you got a very nice, detailed picture.

note: it does not matter if the rectangle is out-of screen after zooming, the copied .jpg will be just nice and full of details.

note2: by saving the resulting .jpg do not forget to set up the quality (usually is set up to 75%, more details mean larger size of the resulting .jpg file).

Thanks dudes. This is a big help.

Second GIMP.

I really really really don’t like the GIMP interface. I heard a few supporters compare it to Photoshop, but I don’t understand that comparison at all. Frankly, I think the GIMP UI sucks. I use Paint.Net and find it be a lot easier to use.
