Batch Processing of PDF files to JPG

[Sheran Jaddoo]

i'm having this aweful issue of PDF to JPG conversions


Now the files are in pdf format and their sizes are quite large, round 15000px height maybe


I only want my jpg files to be 700px high, for this once my pdf files have been opened in photoshop, i created an action for this, that part is ok


I tried batch conversion, using actions as well, but it's still not that automatic because the pdf window still pops up every time a new pdf is being opened on photoshop asking me for how high i want my pdf file. so if i have 600 pdfs (i do!) it's 600 times i have to type in 700 px in the height box.


Plus the pdf files have been partitioned into folders and subfolders, the actions also have a problem: they don't save it in the same folder as from where i opened them.


is there any way out of this ?

View attachment 1186on the saving part go into pref>File Handling
make sure "Save As to original folder" is checked

I used to meet the same problem with you .YOU can try the following code to convert pdf to jpeg easily:

namespace RE__Test
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

public static string FolderName = "c:/";

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string fileName = FolderName + "Sample.pdf";

REDocument doc = REFile.OpenDocumentFile(fileName, new PDFDecoder());//use PDFDecoder open a pdf file

int pageCount = doc.GetPageCount();//get pdf's page count

for (int pgIdx = 0; pgIdx < pageCount; pgIdx++)
{
BasePage aPage = doc.GetPage(pgIdx);//get page from REDocument

try
{
REImage img = (REImage)aPage.ToImage();//translate page to image
REFile.SaveImageFile(img, FolderName + "output" + pgIdx + ".jpg", new JPGEncoder());//save image
}
catch (Exception)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Fail to display page " + pgIdx);
