Help!
Bit stuck here.
I need a simple, AppleScriptable way of creating JPEG thumbnails from
PDF originals in Mac OS 9.x. The best option so far seems to be Acrobat
5.0 which'll convert a file to JPEGs which I can then resize. However,
Acrobat's Save As JPEG option does not seem to be AppleScriptable (in
fact I find Acrobats's dictionary very opaque) and I really do not want
to use Prefab Player!
Is Acrobat 5.0 the best tool for the job?
Can I script this in a simple manner? (Well, obviously I cannot at the
moment 'cause otherwise I wouldn't be writing this email :-)
Anyone got any ideas or code snippets to help me in this incredibly
simple sounding task?
TIA
Simon Forster
