You can use pdftopnm (app-text/poppler) to generate bitmap images from |
| 17 |
your pdfs. Then you can use pnmtopng (media-libs/netpbm) to create pngs |
| 18 |
from them. I suppose there are also tools for creating jpegs and such |
| 19 |
alike but I haven't looked yet. |

You will probably need some tweaking to get optimal results but the |
| 22 |
process should be straight forward. |

Make sure you have enough disk space spare. Those pnms can be quiet huge. |
