Convert pdf to png easily


I need to quickly convert odfs to image for both online processing and one off processing. Luckily imagemagick had me covered for both.

First install imagemagick:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick  

Then use the convert function to do the work:

convert example.pdf example.png  

This will append ## to the file name if the pdf is multiple pages. convert also has a few options that effect the quality, size, trimming, etc.
