    Question Batch file conversion

    I have several hundred scanned images in .max format, which is a proprietary format for an application called Scansoft Paperport. I want to convert all of these into .jpg format. I know I can probly do it with an image editing application, but figured I'd try it the hard way.

    All the files are in one folder, so I tried:

    >rename *.max *.jpg

    The extension on every file was changed to .jpg. I tried opening them in a couple of programs, but the format was unrecognized. I created a new folder with 4 .bmps and tried:

    >rename *.bmp *.jpg

    and this worked. Does anyone know of a way to solve this problem? Would installing the Paperport program help?
