Import PDF into Premiere Pro CC

Looking for guidance. I have a pdf and wish to import some pages (10-15 individual pages) from it into PrPro CC. Create Individual still images.

I have PS CC. I intend to use PS to convert the pdf pages to PrPro supported file type. What is best format to save to -- for best quality image? PSD, TIFF, PNG. etc.?

Video is HD in .mov format.

Any other words of wisdom on doing this?

    If it were me, I would rasterize the pdf file at about twice the largest pixel dimension of my sequence (4000px if working on 1920 x 1080 timeline) and export the individual pages as .png files for import into Premiere.

    The oversized pngs will give some room to reposition and zoom in.

      I'm a fan of PNG for graphics and images.  It's the best quality/file size ratio available.
