If you ever have a folder full of images you want to convert, this AppleScript my come in handy. Open this up in the AppleScript Editor and save it as an application. 

Then just drop a folder full of OG images (works on PDF, VDX, VSD, and graffle files. If OG ever supports opening svg or png this will also work for those). You can change the file types if you want. I wrote this for the one's I use and need to often convert.
