pdf in GraphicConverter
Authored by: pmccann on Sep 04, '02 10:54:45PM

While the image produced is definitely a pdf file (you can view it via "less" in the terminal; just note the first line of the file!!), the initial hint did lead to a nice realisation. If you drop a pdf file called filename.pdf on GraphicConverter it puts up the shutters and directs you to use Acrobat Reader. Fair enough. But change that same file so that it's named filename.jpg and kabingo: seems quicktime kicks in and converts the first page of the pdf file to allow Graphic Converter to view the thing. Unfortunately it *is* only the first page. Anyway, there are doubtless other ways to do this, but this one might prove convenient for someone.

Cheers,
Paul
