  • Conversion Options: Length and Width now behave differently. If you specify one as zero, and the other as greater than zero, the one specified as zero will be sized in order to retain the aspect ratio. For example, if you specify a width of 100 and a height of 0, the height will be automatically adjusted to retain the aspect ratio. If both Length and Width are specified as 0, the size of the image will be the same as the original within the PDF. If length or width is specified as negative, it will be assigned the same as the original length or width respectively. This was done as in most cases the aspect ratio is desired to be retained.

New in Convert PDF to Image 3.40 (Dec 15, 2012)

  • Conversion Items may now be moved within the 'Conversion Task List'. Select the CONVERSION menu item or the RIGHT MOUSE CLICK to open a pop-up menu item. Move UP, DOWN, FIRST, and LAST are now available. CTRL-U and CTRL-D also move a conversion item up and down respectively.
  • Users may now be asked to save the 'Conversion Job' file if they are exiting, loading an existing 'Conversion Job' file, or requesting to create a new 'Conversion Job'. If there is no 'conversion job' file at the time, there must be at least 2 conversion items in the 'Conversion job' to be asked to save. Users will not be asked to save if they've loaded a 'Conversion Job' and haven't modified it.
