XScreenSaver(1)

NAME
pdf2jpeg - converts a PDF file to a JPEG file using Cocoa

SYNOPSIS
pdf2jpeg [--verbose] [--quality NN] infile.pdf outfile.jpg

DESCRIPTION
This reads a PDF file (for example, as written by the screencapture(1) program) and writes a JPEG file.

OPTIONS
pdf2jpeg accepts the following options:

--verbose
    Print diagnostics.

--quality NN
    JPEG compression factor. Default 85%.

BUGS
The input and output files must be files: pipes don't work. This program is Cocoa-specific, so it won't work on non-MacOS systems. This shouldn't need to be a part of the XScreenSaver distribution at all, but Apple is COMPLETELY INSANE and made screencapture(1) only write PDFs, with no simple way to convert that to something less crazy.
