EZPZ FileSave each page as a PNG. Nothing is smeared by compression, so text and diagrams stay sharp.

Pick one file and its page count is read. The file is not sent anywhere.
The page count is read from the file.
150 for putting on screen, 300 for anything that will be zoomed into.
One PNG per page is produced.
PNG stores pixels exactly as they are, so the edges of letters and the thin rules in a table do not blur or pick up artefacts. On contracts, drawings and charts the difference is obvious.
The trade is that a page full of photographs comes out several times larger than the JPG. If size matters more, look at PDF to JPG.
PDF pages usually have no background colour set, so drawing them as-is leaves the background empty. White is laid down first and the page drawn over it, so the result matches what you see when you open the document.
Lowering the resolution shrinks them a lot; 150 DPI is often plenty for reading on screen. If they are still large, the document is probably photo-heavy, so consider JPG.
Not at the moment. Almost every PDF page is built assuming white paper, so making it transparent leaves the text floating on nothing.
There is no page limit, but memory use scales with pages times resolution. Exporting 100 pages at 300 DPI in one go is heavy even on a computer.
Not once it is an image. If you need the text, copy it from the original PDF or use a document tool.
The printer or designer sent an .ai and it opens blank, shows a "saved without PDF content" notice, or loses its fonts and photos. It is almost always one of five causes, and what you see on screen tells you which.
You converted a PDF to images and the text is fuzzy, the picture is tiny, or a print service wants more pixels. This covers which resolution to choose for each use, JPG versus PNG for text and diagrams, getting just one page, and why a screenshot is the worst way to do it.
They asked for one page of your bank statement, or one semester of your marksheet. Sending the whole PDF hands over everything else too. Here is how to send only the pages needed, and how to check the rest is really gone.
