I've been using "pdfimages" one of the tools that comes with "xpdf"; I am using Livecode shell calls to batch process a hundred or so pdfs of old letters which were scanned as pdf. From the commandline, pdfimages outputs numbered jpg or ppm files of each page in multipage pdfs.
(Note: this only works with images inside pdf files, not actual pdf text; xpdf has a tool "pdftoppm" which outputs raw images of multipage pdfs; but I haven't tried it.) xpdf webpage: http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/index.html Mac On Apr 4, 2013, at 2:35 PM, Ray Horsley <r...@linkit.com> wrote: > I believe this has come up before but don't I see any way to convert page 2, > page 3, etc. of a PDF to a PNG or JPEG via snapshot using either revBrowser > or a player object.
