on OS X there is an included command line image conversion tool called "sips", this may do the job.

The limitation with ImageMagick is that it uses Ghostscript as a backend process to render PDFs. This has performance quality disadvantages.

I can also recommend our commercial HELIOS ImageServer and PDF HandShake software solutions which perfectly handles rendering of all major image formats, RAWs and PDFs, it is available on all major server platforms.

I am starting the process of learning ERAttachments. Of course, if I upload a 
pdf, I only get a file icon. So I thought I would convert the pdf to a tiff 
(using some compression stuff) and use this as the preview.

So now is the time to start learning more stuff. I am googling on converting 
pdf to tiff and I find some stuff that doesn't appear too bad (read too 
difficult for me to understand and implement). But I thought I would ask.

Is there a Property to do this?  :-)  or a Wonder way?
