Is there a way to convert a PDF to JPG using a button.
I did try with no luck.
Image CONVERT=JPG

Not with Opus...
The OpenSource package PDFedit has a tool to convert PDFs to BMP, which you can later convert to JPG using DO:
sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit ... dit-win32/
If you don't want to install the whole package, get pdf_to_bmp-tool.exe from cashrevenu.net/index.html/Free-P ... _1537/bin/
You could also try Convert PDF To Image.
A simple example to convert all pages of a PDF file to JPG would be:
C:\Path\To\ConvertPDFtoImage.exe /S{filepath} /T"{sourcepath}{file|noext}.jpg"Try printing to an image writing virtual printer, such as any of these:

What is available fore this. Would it be as you suggested last week?
Bob
I never spoke about conversion to jpg. I suggested my pdf toolbar that use pdftk tool to rotate pdf, your request...
And if I had answered you something last week, why you repost the same question in new post ?
Not sure. But good question.
Bob
Actually, I was wondering why you were questioning AlbatorV at all when 3 other ppl gave you suggestions on how to do what you want, and AlbatorV just said "no"... 
. Were the methods the other 3 suggested not interesting for some reason?
FWIW - in revisiting my own needs around PDF conversion (again, mine were reverse from the OP, in wanting to easily batch convert JPGs into PDFs), I juuuuust noticed in the registry something I think was introduced in the recent 6.0 release of the free Foxit Reader. There is a shell extension identified under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Foxit_ConvertToPDF_Reader key that allows you to right click on supported file types (various image formats, html, word docs, etc) in order to convert them to PDF. It works better than some stand alone utilities I wound up trying...
I tried to get onto Foxit's forums to lodge a request to provide a similar shell extension to convert PDF to images, but the forum is comically dysfunctional... links don't lead to where they claim to, web form api errors abound when trying to login or register an account. Maybe others interested in the capability will have better luck contacting Foxit ...

Unfortunately I have a lot of my plate. And it's not usual for me to read and not understand something in his results and give up. I had a person that did all this for me until she left with over half of my company's resources. I have been bouncing back and forth on this particular project for some time. I still have not resolve my problem. But one issue I had resolved and that was the ability to take 6500 filenames, in a directory, and import them into a text file. No one could figure that one out. But I still have to deal with the pdf files since I can't convert them.
Well I got lucky by asking the right question in the right place. My solution took me five minutes to understand. And when I executed the code the file was created in less than five seconds. 6500 filenames amazing.
I am sorry about my lack of efficiency when it comes to understanding what I'm reading. There are reasons for it. I do what I can. I do know the tech support on this forum is not one of the best. It is the best!.

3 years later, I want to write for those who arrive here with the same question in mind : how to convert pdf to jpg.
Now you can do it easily with ImageMagick :
Copy the ImageMagick files in a folder named "ImageMagick" in the home folder of DO ("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus" by default)
Install GhostScript on your computer.
Install this button in your toolbar :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button backcol="none" display="both" label_pos="right" textcol="none">
<label>Extract PDF pages to JPG</label>
<tip>Extract the PDF pages to JPG pictures : 1 JPG file per page</tip>
<icon1>#default:split</icon1>
<function type="batch">
<instruction>/home\ImageMagick\convert.exe "{file|noext}.pdf" -colorspace RGB -interlace none -density 600x600 -quality 100 "{file|noext}-%%02d.jpg"</instruction>
</function>
</button>
Now click on the pdfs you want to convert and click on the button.
Your "my pdf file.pdf" will be converted to "my pdf file-01.jpg", "my pdf file-02.jpg" etc...
ImageMagick : https://sourceforge.net/projects/imagemagick/files/7.0.3-exes/
GhostScript : http://ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html
If you know a better or easyer way to do it, please let me know
ImageMagick is a good tool for this kind of thing.
But it's better to install ImageMagick under C:\Program Files\ImageMagick or similar than to start installing other software under the Opus folder.
Even if it's the portable version, DO-backups will also take much longer.
Yes your are both right... But I hope it will help anyway
