Use Ghostscript to convert PDF to JPG.
Lines below are from Lasso, but the idea would be the same in AS.
Concatenate the base ghostscript instruction variable (you can look up what
all the switches do - below works well for me) and the destination and
source path variables and then run the whole thing with a shell.
I was able to script the same function through imageevents, but GS is way
faster and more reliable.
Sorry not to be able to give you a pure AS solution, and there is a bit of
trial and error getting GS to go as expected.
var: 'v_ghostscript' = '/opt/local/bin/gs -q -dNOPROMPT -dBATCH
-dUseCIEColor -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dFirstPage=1
-dLastPage=1 -dMaxBitmap=50000000 -dNOPAUSE -dAlignToPixels=0 -dJPEGQ=80
-dDITHERPPI=150 -sDEVICE=jpeg -r150 -sOutputFile=';
var: 'pdf2jpg' = $v_ghostscript + $destination_path + ' ' + $source_path;
shell($pdf2jpg);
