actually, that was one thing I forgot to mention...
I'd like to know if there is something free out there..thanks
If you want *free* (and you don't mind using ordinary apps) you can
always hack something together like:
set myDoc to choose file
set myPath to (path to desktop) & "myPDF.bmp" as string
tell application "QuickTime Player"
open myDoc
set visible of window 1 to false
export movie 1 to file myPath as BMP
close movie 1
end tell
You can even split multipage documents to individual .png files by
doing this instead:
set myDoc to choose file
set myPath to (path to desktop) & "myPDF" as string
tell application "QuickTime Player"
open myDoc
export movie 1 to file myPath as image sequence
close movie 1
end tell
Forget you read saw that last script. I might give it a gui in Xcode
and flog it on versiontracker ;-)
