So apparently Preview only converts one page of the PDF to an image and I couldn't see anything like that in Reader.
Tons of alternatives like ghostscript or imagemagick on the command line.  Found a puzzle piece in Automator as I call them and figured out a process that worked. Discovered a problem that was reported to Apple 5 years ago but found something a little more elegant than calling AppleScript just for a dialogue.

You have to right click open the first time.
Tested with Big Sur.
