Converting PDF files to JPG

With PDF files being so common in the workplace, you will many times find useful information which you receive that would like to incorporate into your presentation.  By taking advantage of a PDF converter you can easily convert your PDF files into an image which you can easily incorporate into your presentations.

Due to the fact that many organizations require authorization for you to install programs and software one of the most convenient ways to convert PDF to images is to utilize an online PDF to image converter.  If you look online you will find that their are several websites which can convert PDF to JPG however many of these websites typically are slow, inefficient or are more time consuming then necessary.

Of all the options available my favorite is http://pdf2jpg.net which worked quickly, efficiently and provided high quality images that you can then easily add to your presentation.

To start, you will first need to select a PDF file from your computer that you would like to convert

Choose file to convert to JPG

Next you will need to choose the quality level of the converted images.  In many cases the pdf images will usually be placed within a smaller portion of your presentation instead of taking up the whole screen.  In this case 150dpi should be plenty, however if you plan to fill up an entire screen such as a LCD in portrait mode I would recommend using the highest resolution possible (300 dpi)  to insure you do not suffer a loss of image quality in your presentation.

Depending on your exact screen size and resolution these recommendations may differ.  I highly recommend playing with different options to see which will provide you with the best results for your particular application.

Next hit the "Convert PDF to JPG" to start the conversion process.  If wanted you can also enter your e-mail address here and have the images e-mailed to yourself.

It will take a few seconds to convert the PDF file and after the process is done you will be presented with a series of images which you can either view in your browser, or download. In addition at the very bottom of the list you can download all of the images in a single zip file which is extremely helpful if your PDF has a lot of pages.
