Problem with his PDF is that it uses a copyrighted font, if you try to
load it natively into illustrator or photo shop it will force a font
substitution (Since I do not have that font) The substitution is not
that close to the original either. Even if it is not very F/OSS I did
try it that way fir
Really? I always get an PS error and it dies on me. Most of the PDF's
I tried it with were created with Adobe products too.

The PDF you pointed us to contains an image.
The tool "pdfimages" from xpdf suite and also available with poppler-utils
can extract the images from a PDF. I have

Also, in my opinion, if your flattening the image to a jpeg it does you
no good to go through a complex conversion process since you will lose
all the layers, fonts, and details anyway.
Another cheep trick is to print it directly to a jpg.
But seriously, it comes out great pasting it from your sc
Basically using screen capture and gimp, this is the best I can get for
a reasonable size. On my machine it looks just as good at 400% zoom as
the pdf does and it is under 800KB.

What is the best and most efficient way to convert a high-res
2.5-meg pdf to a high-res jpg without losing (too much) image quality?
I tried the 'convert' utility, but the result is poor quality.
Perhaps there are convert utility options that that might yield
a better result, but I don't know

I mean, why give them more money? They've stolen from you at least
$250 over the last 10 years. Those evil-doers. How can anyone run a
