If you have PhotoShop you can open the PDF in there and resave it to another format.

if you want to convert PDF to some other format you can download irfanview
here - free

http://www.irfanview.com/

you'll also need to download the 'irfanview plugins 398.exe' along with 'AFPL Ghostscript 8.53'. i used the 'gs853w32.exe' self executable. once you have the 3 downloads installed you can open PDF files with irfanview and save them as the usual choice of graphic images. there wasn't any quality loss, excluding compression settings with JPG's.

trial versions of adobe products can be got here, if you haven't already got it.

Anyone know if Acrobat Pro can do this?

I found that good ol' *GhostView 4.8* does the job just as simply as you could imagine it should be: Open the PDF file in the viewer, then pull down menu-item File->Convert and select JPEG from a batch of options, specify a destination and -- Poof! -- it's there.

I found a very bloated and intrusive program called "*LEADTOOLS ePrint*" that went via a _very_ roundabout procedure -- and wasn't intuitive enough for my mood of the moment. Then I started to mess with IrfanView, which still needed GhostView to display a PDF file, and that was how I discovered that the solution was right under my nose all along...

I just ran this on a single-image item; haven't tried it on a long document as *rollmesome* asks, but then I'm wondering why you would want to convert a long document to JPEG in the first place... (Perhaps I'd better not ask... ;-} )

Not specifically. The closest I could find was to use the "Advanced/Export all images" function, which creates a folder will all the images that were integrated into your pdf. However, depending on how the pdf was produced it might not give you one file per page..

YES Acrobat 8 Pro can do it - I get a manufacturer's catalogues in PDF format. I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro to pick them apart. It allows you to 'pull' the raw images out of the file and port them into any programme that you can paste down into and can save as any format you want.

Personally, I port the images into Photoshop for cropping, resizing, cleaning etc ready for the web.

Acrobat does a great job of copying text in a pdf file & saves me hours of typing - I can copy and then paste straight down into the Ecommerce software (Actinic Business 8)

Hope that helps

irfan view has a batch conversion function - you would first have to extract all the images using one of the above solutions I would imagine - in irfan view then go to File>batch conversion, rename. On the RHS of panel that opens choose your images - this can be a folder of images or image by image, add them to bottom part of panel then >Click button for batch conversion (default position for program anyway I think) choose your output format and where you want them saved, then click start batch and away it goes. 
If you want to crop them all, resize them all, adjust all their contrast, colours etc you can click on the advanced button and a new window of choices will come up - best little batch processing software I have come across and its FREE

freebird will do everything you want. Its not free but its what we use where I work when converting pdfs to make dies because it is very accurate. You can save individual pages or the whole document.
