Another thought: do you know what the PDF contains?  Is it just a TIFF
or other image format wrapped up in PDF?  If so, you can probably just
convert the PDF into a JPG or GIF and use the IMG.   Of course, if
push comes to shove you could always just take a screenshot while view
the PDF at %100 and convert that file to a GIF or JPG.

Are you trying to do this programatically for a number of PDFs, or is
this the only one (or one of a static set)?

The most important skill a programmer can have is the ability to read.
