Image conversion changes the workflow
Rendering a PDF to JPG creates a raster view using the renderer and output image encoding. It is not a prepress color conversion and should not be treated as a proof of how an offset print run will look.
Keep print requirements with the source
Ask your print provider about page size, bleed, profiles and output requirements. Export from the original design application with those settings. Avoid using a screenshot or an office text extraction as a substitute for a print-ready original.
Review a practical sample
Inspect photos and small colored text after conversion. If exact brand colors matter, use a managed proofing process. The tools here do not certify PDF/X compliance or convert arbitrary files into a press-specific color space.
