OK (I may put an applescript studio front end on this but for now ....)
grab the download and save it (into your Documents directory in this
example)

start an editor (like BBEdit) and write this into it

        java -cp
./bin:./lib_ext/jpedal.jar:./lib_ext/JIS.jar:./lib_ext/jcmdline.jar
de.hendriklipka.pdfconv.PDFConv $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9

save this as run.sh to the same directory where run.bat is (in this
case Documents/pdfconv)

start terminal (n your applications/utilities folder)

in terminal type in

        cd ~/Documents/pdfconv

type this in

        chmod 755 run.sh

now to convert a document

in terminal window type

        cd ~/Documents/pdfconv

then type

        ./run.sh

(followed by a space)
the drag in the pdf to convert

hit enter

Note that it seems to have a glitch where it does render the jpg file
but never quits
so, when it has rendered your PDF (you'll manually have to keep and eye
on it) you need to press control-C
