[QUOTE="krs, post: 1820097, member: 67742"] Thanks Patrick, But I couldn't get this to work either. Oner thing I should mention - When I do this manually as described in my first post...if I use Preview to opern the pdf and then save it as a jpg, I get a jpg of the first page ONLY!...which is exactly what I want If I do the same thing in Adobe Acrobat for instance, oen the pdf and then save/export it as a jpg, I get a jpg of every pdf page in the pdf document ...which is NOT what I want Seems to me, even if I could get this to work, that Automastor action: "Render PDF Pages to Images" just the way it is worded would probably give me jpg of all the pdf pages. I aslo tried another suggestion on the google list - select all the pdfs, open them with Preview and save as jpgs. Tried that on a sample of 5 pdfs, but when I saved them as jpgs, I only got a jpg of the first page of that whole lot, not a jpg of every first page of those 5 pdfs. BTW - The "Watch Me" function is still available by using the record button. Haven't tried that, but that just repeats the mouse or keyboard inputs exactly, I need the mouse (or something) to select the next pdf in a long list of pdfs and then do the repetitive stuff [/QUOTE]
