Thanks to both. My question failed to specify the formats clearly. The original is pdf---a bitmap rather than text ---and the target format is jpg. png is also acceptable for the result. GIMP is installed here already and it works well. So 5 pages were converted to jpg and transferred to the Sony Mylo in about 15 minutes. Thanks again, ...

Peter Easthope: > What is recommended for converting a bitmap in pdf, into jpg or png? If you mean: extracting a picture which is in the pdf, the best way would be to use 'pdfimages', providing the image in its original resolution. It is part of 'poppler-utils' as well as 'xpdf-utils'. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If you just want the image, then open in inkscape and save out the original image as embedded in the PDF. Regards, Roger -- .''`.

Dear me... I totally misread the original mail. Thanks for pointing this out, Bob. And to the OP, Bob's solution is something which would work well, though I must also mention another "cheap trick": 1. Open your PDF in any PDF reader. 2. Zoom the section containing your image to the maximum resolution, especially if it happens to be a vector graphic. 3. Use a software like gnome-screenshot or ksnapshot to take a picture of the current screen. 4. Use Gimp or a similar software to trim the image. HTH.

ImageMagick's 'convert' also does it: convert abc.pdf abc.jpg Each page of the PDF file becomes one image file, named abc-#.jpg, where '#' is 0 to (pdf pages - 1).
