Picked up a copy of iskysoft pro... lite does't do batch files... and converted my first bunch of files...217 to start with... after a little tinkering... Win 10 doesn't seem to convert to thumbnails automatically... and iskysoft puts each file in a new folder... searching for *.png and copying all the files into a new directory worked. Happy with the software and it does what I need it to. I now have a folder with thumbnails...
Thanks gentlemen/ladies... Dik

Forgot to add the pro version also has OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software with it, so I can convert a scanned drawing to text.

For next time you scan, the ScanSnap app allows choices for either PDF or JPG. At least the one that shipped with my iX500 does. I’ve found the resulting scans are pretty decent.

Photoshop can open (and export) PDF files. The only problem is that it puts each page on a separate entry. But you can convert it to any image format from there.
IrfanView (Windows only) can read PDF files and export them as images. I believe you need GhostScript and an IrfanView plugin to do it. (All freeware).

My V600 can be set to save as TIFF or JPG, I know, I've done it, look in your settings.

Your Scansnap must be a document only scanning model that can only make PDF’s. That’s why it’s fast. Scanning to a graphics file like a JPEG or PNG takes longer. You can speed up your V600 by setting it to a very low resolution, at most 200. These will be good for viewing on a monitoring and sorting. Then rescan the good ones at a higher resolution, 600 or 1200 or as high as you want to wait for the end product. High resolutions work better if you’re going to print enlargements.

Can anyone recommend a means of converting *.pdf to *.png photos? or a means of viewing a scrapbook of *.pdf files. Win 10 does not provide thumbnails for *.pdf... or, I've been unable to do this. Thanks...

I would suggest posting one of your files here so that we can take a better look at it. There are plenty of peop;e willing to help.
PDF files come in, basically, two flavors. The first is text with embedded graphics combined into a single pdf file. For example, saving a file from a word processor as a pdf that contains both text and images would be one example. The text is saved as text and the image is just an embedded jpg. In this example, the embedded jpg can be extracted.
The second type is an all graphics file, where the text and images were saved in the pdf as a single graphic. For example, scanning a paper document containing text and images on a flat bed scanner usually produces a graphics only pdf. The text and image are just a single graphic image. In this case, the image is not extractable separately. You could use a screen capture program or load into PS and crop to the image.
Can't help too much without knowing which method was used to create the pdf.

Google "transcode .pdf to .jpg" There are many free conversion programs available. I haven't tried any of them.

I have a Scansnap S1500M. Using Viewscan I can scan an image and get either PDF or JPG or a TIFF file.

Photoshop CS/CC etc. has the capability to open a pdf file and extract images. It has had this capability since at least version 4. Early versions of Photoshop Elements also had this capability, but Adobe removed it some where after version 8.
