How to convert PDF to JPG using the macOS Shortcuts app
https://daviddas.com | Here's a quick tutorial on how to use the macOS Shortcuts app to convert a single- or multi-page PDF into its component JPG files.
I find this technique useful when I need to embed PDFs into a video edit, since most video editing programs don't handle PDFs well.
Shortcuts (formerly Workflow) is a visual scripting application developed by Apple and provided on its iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS operating systems. It allows users to create macros for executing specific tasks on their device(s). These task sequences can be created by the user and shared online through iCloud. A number of curated shortcuts can also be downloaded from the integrated Gallery. Shortcuts are activated manually through the app, shortcut widgets, the share sheet, and Siri. They can also be automated to trigger after an event, such as the time of day, leaving a set location, or opening an app.
