Convert PDF to JP2

File Extension	PDF
Full Name	Adobe Portable Document Format

Files with the .PDF extension contain various types of documents and publications saved in a standard created by Adobe Systems that is now recognized by many platforms. The files are usually characterized by a limited editability using standard software, meaning that, more often than not, they can only be opened and displayed.

File Extension	JP2
Full Name	JPEG 2000 Image Format (ISO 15444-1) Format

Files with the .JP2 extension contain a compressed bitmap image creating using JPEG-2000 Core Coding. It is different from standardized JPEG files in that it uses a different type of algorithm during compression – one based on discrete wavelet transform – this allows for a non-lossy compression.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "PDF") to another (referred to as "JP2"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, PDF file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format PDF to format JP2 becomes essential.

So, how can we perform PDF to JP2 file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format PDF and transforming it into format JP2. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of PDF to JP2 converters.
