Can I use command line to convert pdf to image ?

[dianadrennan]

I have a program that automatically create pdf files.

I want to upload them into a database as image files (preferably jpg).

I know I can open the pdf in acrobat and save it as a jpg, but I have a LOT of them to do.

Is there a way to do this from the command line ?

Not with Acrobat, no, but there are other libraries and applications that can do it, of course.
