Convert PDF file(s) to BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF or WMF image(s)

Some times, there is the need to convert a PDF file to an image. This happens because whenever you want to view a PDF file you must install (first) an external application (like Adobe Acrobat reader or FoxIt PDF reader,etc.)  to view these type or files or maybe you want to view them in other devices like your mobile phone or your modern television.  Unlike PDF files, the image files can be viewed  in most devices without the need to install an application or plugin first to support them.

This tutorial will guide you through the steps you have to take to convert a pdf document to an image.
