Change a pdf file to a jpeg... just changing the file type doesn't work.

I just spent ages scanning in photos... so they are just images saved as pdf's and I want to basically be able to use them or upload them.

I think you may be shit out of luck - PDF's are the devil's format, I have never discovered a way to change the format at all, don't think you can. I often get sent stuff at work in PDF and generally have to print them off and scan them to get them in another format.

get the pdf on screen, press printscreen button on keyboard, then go to photoshop and choose file-> new from clipboard, crop it to suit and save in whatever image format you want.

I'm on a company computer and I assume I am not authorised to put new software on it. Bah. I guess I'll have to re-scan the lot. *weeps*

unless anyone else has any suggestions?

where is print screen? or what is print screen? (excuse my lack of knowledge) are you meaning print preview? I'm not sure how to get to that from Acrobat Reader.

Print screen is next to the "Any Key"

A quick way is to press the Windows Key + D, then ALT+F4 and then Enter. You have to do it real quick though.
