Page 2 of a PDF

[Mac Bennett]

I've been using "pdfimages"  one of the tools that comes with "xpdf";  I am using Livecode shell calls to batch process a hundred or so pdfs of old letters which were scanned as pdf.  From the commandline, pdfimages outputs numbered jpg or ppm files of each page in multipage pdfs.  

(Note: this only works with images inside pdf files, not actual pdf text;  xpdf has a tool "pdftoppm" which outputs raw images of multipage pdfs; but I haven't tried it.)

A browser object doesn't seem to display a specified page at all, and while I can manually scroll through a PDF using a player object I can't control from a script which page of the PDF the player object is displaying.  The end result is to convert a single PDF to multiple PNG's or JPEG's.  Suggestions?  Thanks!!!
