Subject: Re: Question for all of the PDF gurus

I use GhostScript ( http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ ) to create and 
manipulate PDFs for a high-volume contract generation application I 
built recently. There's a way to convert PDF to JPG using it as long as 
you have <cfexecute> in order to call command-line functions:

 > convert somefile.pdf somefile.jpg

simple, huh? :D

 > convert -scale 100x100 somefile.pdf somefile.jpg

will create the JPG scaled down based on which is larger, width or height.

 > convert somefile.pdf[0] somefile.jpg

will create a jpg of ONLY the first page of a PDF. Otherwise you get
files somefile.jpg.0 through somefile.jpg.N where the PDF file has N pages.

You can also use this to convert PDF to TIFF or GIF.

HTH,

Adrian
