For mac users is this solution ready out of the box. You can view PDF and other many file formats on Preview. Its mighty little program with good options of export like pdf to jpg or pdf to tiff and another many formats.
If we want to export just one page from pdf to jpg, PNG or TIFF just select page and hit export, check desired format and click export. This is simplest method, with Preview.
But when You need export for example whole manual, or multiple pages, for example for ocr, retouching etc. You nedd to buy some utility or just do second method, using Automator.
Its mighty tool and Mac users can be glad for this. In my video are few steps, its nothing complicated, preparation is just about 3 minutes, and after this You can be proud owner of Your little free application.
Here are steps:
1. Click on spotlight icon on top right corner of Your desktop, write "Automator" this will find Application, RUN it.
2. Choose type of document, choose "application"
3. On the top of application start write name of action "render PDF pages as images" and drag it to right window

7. In second action please check for place where You want to copy files, I always check desktop because my app is on desktop and I making JPEGs just draging PDF file on app.
8. In action rename file names You have many choises, for example rename files, change case, adding date to filename exported files etc., for me is best just "Make sequentials" it adds squential number to filename that is same like name of original PDF file.
