.TH XScreenSaver 1 "07-Sep-2003 (4.13)" "X Version 11"
.SH NAME
pdf2jpeg - converts a PDF file to a JPEG file using Cocoa
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pdf2jpeg
[\--verbose] [\--quality \fINN\fP] infile.pdf outfile.jpg
.SH DESCRIPTION
This reads a PDF file (for example, as written by the
.BR screencapture (1)
program) and writes a JPEG file.
.SH OPTIONS
.I pdf2jpeg
accepts the following options:
.TP 4
.B --verbose
Print diagnostics.
.TP 4
.B --quality \fINN\fP
JPEG compression factor.  Default 85%.
.SH 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
.BR screencapture (1)
only write PDFs, with no simple way to convert that to something
less crazy.
