This will depend on whether you are going for screen (web) or printer
output, dpi required, and the pdf contents (embedded ps text or compressed
jpg images) and original pdf data source. IIRC, ghostscipt may deal with ps
based pdf files better, while imagemagick will handle compressed omage
files better.
I would try both a see which one is better for my needs. Or, even better,
if I had the original files/data used to generate the pdf, I'd use
imagemagick or gimp to generate image files for latex.
