PDF to Image Conversion

[Alan Stenhouse]

Hi Ray

You probably know these bits already - they're unfortunately also not X-platform:

1. Have you tried   sips    from the command line on OSX? 

e.g.   sips -s format png mypdf.pdf --out myimage.png

2. Maybe Irfanview on Windows. Apparently it has command-line options.

cheers

Alan
