Automator: PDF rendering as JPG

We have already talked about how to attach files to the email message by using Automator. It was very easy and convenient, so this feature is used by many users. At this time it will be a bit unusual of workflow, which can be useful, for example, photos. We'll export anything to JPG by printing to a PDF file.

Launch Automator and select the mode Custom. Next, go to PDFs and find Render PDF Pages as Images. Use this option and configure it. Quality and compression, it is desirable to put a little more.

Then go to Photos and find Apply ColorSync Profile to Images. You need this option, but Automator likely to offer added Copy Finder Items in the chain of actions - refuse the offer. Do not forget to choose the ColorSync profile from the Display menu. In principle, no matter what you set.

Then find New Folder in Files & Folders and specify where to save the export results. If the folder is not for export, Automator will do it in the time of export.

It remains to save it and start using. On the menu

File Select Save as Plug-In, Set the sane name for this workflow, and from the drop-down list, select a print Workflow. So that is all! Now, when you print to PDF from any program, you can only use that made workflow and it will save your document in a specified folder earlier.

example of use. I use this workflow in Adobe Lightroom when exporting photos with frames and water marks - in this case is the only way to date, which makes it possible to export photos with framework.
