You can use Adobe Photoshop to convert a PDF image or document to a JPEG image. If you are converting a PDF multi-page document, you will have to open and save each page as a separate image. There are three JPEG formats available in Photoshop. Optimized formatting creates optimized colors with a smaller file size, but is not supported by all Web browsers. Progressive formatting allows some Web browsers to quickly show a low-quality image and then increase its detail as the image continues to load. Standard, or baseline, formatting is supported by most Web browsers.
