I'm looking for a solution that will allow users to convert PDF files possibly of multiple pages into JPGs. The solution must be local, online solutions are a no go due to security issues and it must be as ridiculously simple as possible so non IT types can use it easily. Licensing is not an issue but would prefer for it to be GPL. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Ghostscript, with a command line like
gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=page%02d.jpg -r150 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH file.pdf
where 150 is the resolution in dots per inch. You could wrap this in some script that presents a nicer user interface.

I found this notepad++ for mac ,it has a size of 215 megabytes(quite large).
I have downloaded it and started looking at it.
I found this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywh6HlCmtg0
It is actually working pretty good.
I just like to know;
is this OK?,Or Lawful?
if it is not I like to remove this from my computer.
Thanks
I'd recommend you use something like Sublime Text 2 if you want to have a neat text editor. You can use it for free, it just bugs you once in a while, when you save a file. It's full featured either way.

I want to automatically convert LaTeX to PDF with pdflatex, then open the PDF in Evince using quickrun.vim.
I've read the documentation for quickrun.vim, and it seems that I should use a function :function! quickrun#register_outputter(name, outputter), but how can I realize that by configuring my .vimrc?
I don't know anything about quickrun.vim, but a simple mapping would also be sufficient. Add this to your .vimrc:
autocmd FileType tex noremap <buffer> <F5> :w<CR> :!pdflatex -shell-escape "%" && evince %:p:r.pdf<CR>
Hitting will then run pdflatex and open the pdf in evince.

I am trying to generate read only pdf's with latex and I am having difficulty finding the best solution. I looked at pdftek but what are other options?
If you want truly read-only pdf's you can do what law firms do and print out the document then scan it back to a pdf.
PDF is an open format and given the right tools you can take it apart and pull out any images and any text. That being said you can add security permissions using the pdftk tool. If you encrypt it you can set permissions (like disabling editing and disabling printing)
See pdftk and permissions in the man page.
