I think GD might be able to assist you with this.

Here is a google search I just performed, that shows promise

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gd+pdf+to+jpg&btnG=Google+Search

one of the notable results was on Zend's website.

granted they show you how to do it in PHP, but the procedure would
probably be roughly the same in a shell script or command line.

Subject: [MLUG] how to convert pdf to image (e.g., jpg or png)?

I have a collection of PDF documents (actually issues of Scientific 
American) and each one has a cover page that I would like to export to a

.jpg or .png file of a certain size.  So is there an easy command to
just 
convert the first page of a .pdf to a .jpg?  It would be best if I can 
specify the dimensions in pixels, or at least one of the dimensions in 
pixels.
