You can use pdftopnm (app-text/poppler) to generate bitmap images from your pdfs. Then you can use pnmtopng (media-libs/netpbm) to create pngs from them. I suppose there are also tools for creating jpegs and such alike but I haven't looked yet. You will probably need some tweaking to get optimal results but the process should be straight forward. Make sure you have enough disk space spare. Those pnms can be quiet huge.
