Add ability to export single/multiple pages as images

[archisman-panigrahi]

Describe the bug

Right now, pdfarranger can only export as pdf. Sometimes one has to extract a single file from a pdf and use it in image format.
For that, right now one has to extract the page(s) as pdf and then manually convert them to image format.

Having the option to export as png/jpg will reduce the last step.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Select some pages
2. Right click, and click export.
3. All the exported pages are saved in pdf format. Even if I try to save as filename.png, it saves as filename.png.pdf.

Expected behavior

Step 3 should have some way to produce png/jpg.

Hi and thanks for the suggestion! I, however, think that this is a rather niche use case. If you do this on a regular basis there are probably better ways to automate this with some scripting. If anyone wants to work on this feature please let us know 😉

As per our usual procedure with such feature requests: Let's give this 3 weeks. If nothing productive comes up it should be closed and tagged stale feature.
