Re: convert a bitmap in pdf, into jpg or png.
Peter Easthope: What is recommended for converting a bitmap in pdf, into jpg or png? If you mean: extracting a picture which is in the pdf, the best way would be to use 'pdfimages', providing the image in its original resolution. It is part of 'poppler-utils' as well as 'xpdf-utils'. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

My question failed to specify the formats clearly. The original is pdf---a bitmap rather than text ---and the target format is jpg. png is also acceptable for the result. GIMP is installed here already and it works well. So 5 pages were converted to jpg and transferred to the Sony Mylo in about 15 minutes. Thanks again, ...
