My 2 cents : Inkscape + shell script - Inkscape can open vectorial image, svg or even pdf - Inkscape can export vectorial image in png - Inkscape can be use from command line
About Inkscape pdf import functions : http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Current_PDF_Support If pdf import fails, you need to find a "pdf to svg" tool to be able to use Inkscape later (maybe imagemagick, maybe some pdf tools like pdftk or xpdf-util, maybe gimp, maybe firefox). Check http://www.calcmaster.net/personal_projects/pdf2svg/ About inkscape in command line : man inkscape Maybe there is a zoom param or something like that which will allow you to render part of your image.
