Got a big fat PDF? Rather have it split into lots of little jpgs, one for each page in the PDF?
That happens to me a lot.
Jim DeVona’s Save PDFs pages as images Automator app is what you and I need.
It does all the chopping-up-and-separating, then it neatly saves the images in a numbered sequence so you know which one’s which.
You should check out his software page too, it’s got all sorts of goodies for your Mac, especially for Yojimbo users.
Everybody say: “Yojimbo!” There, that feels better doesn’t it?

From any application, (command-P) Save PDF to iPhoto (e.g. one-click sync to iPhone/Touch) … I think it does the same. I didn’t play with it much though, and it seems like it’s not very good for text (zooming will not help), but you can also save PDF as Tiff or JPEG and get better quality…
Compiling an Automator workflow an app maketh not.
