How can I convert pages in my PDF into separate images on MacBook Air?

I have several PDFs that I need to convert to images for a project. I opened a PDF in Preview and tried exporting it to JPG, but it only exported the first page. I also tried to select all the pages before exporting, but it's still the same. Very frustrating. What should I do to convert all pages in my PDFs into separate images?

Thanks for the suggestions! My PDF has quite a few pages, so taking screenshots would be a bit of a pain for me. I also tried the Adobe link you shared, but it wouldn't let me upload the file—it says it's either too large or too complex. Any other ideas?

You can open the pdf in Preview. Make sure it shows the thumbnails for each page along the side. Then you can select one page and drag it onto the desktop (or some other folder) and that page alone will appear on the desktop. You can repeat this for additional pages.
