Converting and saving a PDF into JPEG

[razedafear]

Hi

can somebody help me converting a pdf file to jpeg. I am using ubuntu 10.04. Is there a GUI alternative/software to do this. I have tried this method from command line but does not work

 convert -quality 100 -density 600x600 multipage.pdf single%d.jpg

from here

Well, I just did a quick test and converted a pdf into a jpg like thus:

convert filename.pdf filename.jpg

and this worked just fine. Try omitting any extra arguments to start with and then play around with '-quality' '-density' and so on to see what happens.

If you want a GUI, you could use Gimp.

Good luck.

Got this error:-

mark@mark-linux:~/Downloads$ convert adhaar.pdf adr.jpg
convert: unable to open image `adhaar.pdf': No such file or directory @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2480.
convert: missing an image filename `adhaar.jpg' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2838.

Quick answer, open the pdf in GIMP and deal with the loaded layers as you wish, and save as... jpg, or any other GIMP supported export format.
EDIT:
from your error message, it could be as simple as you not being in the correct directory that the pdf file is stored in....

Cool. I didn't know that Gimp can import pdf files.
