This article will explain how to convert a Microsoft Word document to high resolution print-quality .JPEG/.jpg images from a Mac computer. This is useful if you are required to submit your multi-page Word document to a vendor as .JPEG images.

Step 1

Open Your Word Document

Locate and open your Word document.

Step 2

Save File As

Once your Word document is open, Click the File menu and pull down to select the Save As menu item.

Step 3

Save as a PDF

At the bottom of the Save As window click the pulldown button and select the PDF menu item under Export Formats.

Step 4

PDF Settings

Next, click the following items:

1. Best for Printing radio button
2. Export button

Step 5

Export from Acrobat

Once you have created the PDF, open it within Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (the free Reader version will not work). Next select the following items:

1. File menu Item > Export To
2. Image
3. JPEG

Step 6

Select JPEG settings

Make sure JPEG is selected and then click the Settings button.

Step 7

Specify JPEG Settings Properties

To produce high resolution print-quality JPEG images from each page of your document select the options shown below in the pulldown menus and then click the OK button:

1. Grayscale & Color: JPEG (Quality : Maximum)
2. Resolution: 300 pixels/inch

Step 8

You will now have multiple JPEG images corresponding to the number of pages in your original Word document (In this example there were 7 pages in the Word file, thus there are 7 generated JPEG image files). You can then submit these JPEG files to your vendor/contact.
