TOKYO (MacHouse) – If I have some idea about what to create next, I am most likely to be able to finish an application in a few days. Well, I’m working on PDF these days. After releasing the last application related to PDF, I’m ready to introduce another. In fact, I submitted a new Mac software title to Mac App Store several hours ago. This new release is called PDF2Pictures.

PDF2Pictures lets you convert selected or all pages of a PDF document into pictures. Using PDF2Pictures is quite simple. Just drag and drop a PDF file onto the drop box to the left. Then select a page or multiple pages over the page list below. You can click on the Export All Pages toolbar button to just save all pages as pictures or click on the Export Page or the Export Pages toolbar button, depending on how many pages you’ve selected in the list.  

Features

1. Convert one particular page in the page list into a picture by clicking on the Export Page toolbar button.
2. Convert multiple pages in the page list into pictures by clicking on the Export Pages toolbar button.
3. Convert all pages in the selected PDF document into pictures by clicking on the Export All toolbar button.
4. Insert to each page a background layer with a color of your selection to cover the area outside the printing area.
5. Use a drop box to select and open a PDF file that is readily accessible.
6. The application supports the retina screen. (tested with 2014 2.6 GHz 13″ MacBook Pro)
7. The application supports the fullscreen mode.
8. Languages: English and Japanese only
9. Application file size: 9.6 MB.
10. The application comes with a complete user’s guide written in English. (Choose Help > User’s Guide.)
11. The application comes with a 9-page introduction window, giving the user a quick tour over how it works.
