I have saved a couple pdf files as jpg. When I open the jpg file, the printing is not clear (slightly blurry). How can I get around this? TIA. Lynn

If your answer was "how do I get it to print it with crisp text?" I'm afraid the answer is you don't. At least not from a low quality JPEG (even if wraped in a PDF).
Your best bet, If you know who did the original PDF, Is to recomend to output text either as text or as vector shapes. And not have the whole thing as images.
It depends how the PDF was generated in the first place (but I won't go into unnecessary details).

I only saved it once as a jpg, so it shouldn't have lost too much quality. Same thing happens if I save it to another format.
That is a known and well documented problem with Jpegs, they lose quality with each successive save. That is also why the more advanced digital cameras offer a RAW format and Adobe has introduced the DNG image file type. For example the Nikon NEF is a custom RAW image type that uses some compression but it is considered loss less since once the image has been compressed any further uncompressing and recompressing and saving the image does not lose additional quality.You can try setting the quality to the highest and the compression to the lowest.

The original was made in InDesign CS2, then saved as a pdf. I need the whole thing as either a jpg or png to insert it into an email. It depends how the PDF was generated in the first place (but I won't go into unnecessary details).

The Jpeg will never be better than the original PDF. If your original pdf was created for screen view with a 72dpi resolution it will not get better. JPEG is a poor file type for images. It was developed when all users needed to use a modem to access other computers at speeds of 24 baud or less.
