How To: Convert PDFs to Jpeg and PNG With Applescript

Applescript is one of those Mac OS features a few people master and many ignore. Truth be told, Apple has never published an “official” get-started guide to Applescript, so I understand all those users who just don’t get the point with it.

Evernote Account Switcher Brings Support For Multiple Accounts

Although I’m in love with Yojimbo, there’s no doubt that Evernote is the most famous “notes organizer / digital scrapbook” app around.
