Photoshop script to convert PDF to JPG

Closed Posted 7 years ago Paid on delivery

I have hundreds of PDF files that contain simple black and white (2 bit) images. There is only one image in each PDF. I wish to convert these images in the PDFs to grayscale JPGs. I am hoping to automate the conversion process by having someone develop/write a script that automate this process. You can see the process performed manually by watching this 6 minute video:

[url removed, login to view]

The process would involve:

1) Opening the PDF from a local drive/source

2) Converting it to grayscale

3) Run the image through the Noise filter

4) Bump up the contrast to a prespecified value

5) Scale the image proportionately to a prespecified maximum width (if the image is wider than it is tall), or to a maximum height (if the image is taller than it is wide).

6) Change the DPI to 150

7) Run the image through the Noise filter

8) Save the image to JPEG at a prespecified Quality value changing only the filename extension (e.g., before: [url removed, login to view] after: [url removed, login to view]) to a prespecified drive path/folder

I am not sure how the script will know to convert EACH of the PDFs in a prespecified local drive/path, but this will be a requirement.

It would be nice if a LOG file could be created showing whether the process was successful or not.

In the video, ignore the comment that I make that asks the freelancer to specify "how many PDFs can you convert for $50." The video was originally created with the thought that the task would have to be done manually. Since the video was created, I have changed my mind and am trying to see if a script can perform the task in an automated manner.
