The CoreImage-based thumbnailer in ERAttachment can rasterize PDF's also, btw.

Thanks Hugi,.... good suggestions, however it must be free or FOSS. JPedal is interesting ..... FWIW, I have used ghostscript ('gs' command line tool) to rasterize PDF to images:

gs -sDEVICE=png16m -o MyFile-Page-%d-png16m.png MyFile.pdf

.... that command outputs each page (&d is page number) as a png.

Google has helped me to find "wkpdf" tool at link below ..... which reminds me to clarify that OS-X-only HTML to PDF (or image) tool, even on commandline is workable too since deployment is XServes

Anyone else know of any other java or commandline tools like wkpdf?

I do this by rendering the HTML into a PDF, and then rasterizing the PDF to an image. I've tried using several implementations, but currently I use PD4ML for the HTML rendering, and JPedal for rasterizing the PDF.
