This script will use Acrobat’s built in conversion settings (set in Acrobat’s preferences) to convert an open PDF to a new JPEG file and place that file in the folder of said PDF. If a file with the same name (including extension) exists it will prompt for a new name, at which point you may enter a new name or keep it the same and replace the old file.<\/p>\n
Not allowing Acrobat to name the new file because, on Macintosh, Acrobat has a ridiculously low character limit when auto-generating a file.<\/p>\n

Also unknown if having a window (document) minimized will cause any shenanigans.<\/p>\n Also note this is written for Acrobat 7. Why? Because old hardware needs old software.<\/p>\n [UPDATE] Changed to allow multiple selections.<\/ins><\/p>\n This script will use Acrobat’s built in conversion settings (set in Acrobat’s preferences) to convert an open PDF to a new JPEG file and place that file in the folder of said PDF.
