Question export pdf's as jpg?

[netsol]

is there an easy way to bulk export a couple thousand pdf's as jpg's?
i would like to have a good representation of our work, as a slideshow, on tablets.

What software are you using? You can do this with Photoshop as an "action" (script), Illy too I Think. Adobe bridge would be my go to though.

I'd probably combine all the PDF's in Acrobat, then export as jpg.

Thousands?

I was thinking the same thing. Split them up into batches, like no more than 100 pages per master PDF.

In my experience, running a batch/action in Illy or Photoshop takes forever and hogs resources.

If you're of the fruity persuasion, then Apple automator will do this in no time.
Like scripting, but for dummies.

if you set it up right - let it go, walk off and do something else.

Thousands?

we use flexi & i would just like to right click the directory and have it all done
(no i haven't printed thousands of jobs in the last couple years, if that is the question)

 

[Boudica]

the "Thousands" Question was for White Haus - it would have to be batched out with that method - you couldn't process that kind of volume all at once with acrobat.
IDK anything about Flexi, so if you don't have adobe bridge or photoshop... maybe his suggestion would work the best for you. You will figure out soon enough how many you can do in a batch before acrobat crashes.

this is still a work in progress
i suppose i can sort by size (8"x12", 12"x24", 18" x 30", etc) easily enough.

we used to batch process 1000's of photos for the mls, in the early days of the internet & i suppose i am making this more than it needs to be.

i want to have a couple slideshows to use as a sales tool.
also, i suppose, a video of SOMETHING IMPRESSIVE coming out of each printer, plotter &'CNC

Great idea!
i may be a lousy graphic artist, but, walking away and doing something else, I'M YOUR MAN
