Questions

Should I choose JPG or PNG?

PNG for pages that are mostly text, tables or diagrams: it's lossless, so edges stay crisp. JPG for pages that are mostly photos, where it makes much smaller files.

What resolution should I use for printing?

300 dpi. 150 dpi is enough for screens and slides, and 72 dpi suits thumbnails and quick previews.

Can I convert just one page?

Yes. Under Pages, choose Custom and type the page number.

Are the images watermarked?

No. The images show the page exactly as rendered, with nothing added.
