Isa it possible to convert a .pdf to a .jpg?

I have a .pdf of a family document from the 1600s that was sent to me by an armchair genealogist. I want to convert it to a .jpg so I can upload it to the family facebook group.

But I don't know how to do that.

TIA.

You can open it in Photoshop. Wait Wut Jul 2013 #5
If you are on a Mac, just open it in Preview and go to File > Export and select Format JPEG. nt onehandle Jul 2013 #6

if there is an option to "Save As" and then choose some graphic format.

What I would do would be either:

1) screen capture, even if I had to enlarge it and then take multiple images and stitch them all together in a graphics editor

or

2) get my digital camera out and take photos of it

Good luck. One way or another, you can get it done.

If you don't have Photoshop, you can send it to me and I can convert it for you.
