Converting A PDF To JPG Or TIFF

Believe it or not, opening a PDF in Photoshop is not the only way to convert a PDF to a JPG or TIF. Photoshop does a lot of interpretation of a PDF when it is opened, and depending on if the PDF was scanned vs. printed to PDF it may interpret the pixels differently and elongate them making the image a different size. I propose a more stable way to convert PDF's to images.

A. Open Adobe Acrobat (not Reader).
B. Open the PDF you would like to save to an image. Then go to the "File->Save As" option and choose the "Save As" command.

C. When "Save As" dialog appears, there should be an option at the bottom of the dialog box to let you choose which format to save that PDF. (There is also an options dialog once selected that we will not cover here).

D. Click the "Save" button to complete the conversion. Now you have a PDF the correct size with a standard pixel width, the correct scale, and paper size.
