Batch Processing of PDF files to JPG

[equatorlounge]

i'm having this aweful issue of PFG 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 ?

Record a script called "700 px Height"

• image size to 700 px on the height

File >> Scripts>>Image processor (inlcude  "700 px Height" action in the last option)

Small problem is this makes an additional folder called jpeg and puts results in there.

Hi Mike

Thanks for your help

But it doesn't apply for pdf files does it ?

And opening the pdf from its original size takes like 5 - 7 minutes

(sized round height 15000px)

there's like 600 large pdfs to convert !

I was looking for a way in the batch processing (or some other way) to initially open the pdf file in 700px for instance and, the batch processing flattens the jpg, saves it, and closes the file afterwards

Cos there's the thumbnailing that come afterwards

AAHHH! i'm already, instead of waiting, opening the files one by one

So every time, a pdf file is opening up in photoshop, a windows pops up, asking me on what size to open initially

I'm inserting 700px cos that's the height I wanted

Is there a way for that window not to open and for the pdf to open initially at 700px height ?

Excuse my typing, I'm at work

There is a script called PDF Processor you can try.

The last one listed is the one you want (most up to date)

Put the script in your photoshop>presets>scripts folder and the script should then

be under File>Scripts>Pdf Processor.

Works for me in 2023 on a Mac.

Ensure that you are using the most recent version:
