So far, I've tried the pdf to jpg conversion, and all I get is the first page. There has to be some means of advancing through the pages in the pdf file to get the rest. Maybe there's something in the Adobe Reader program that might do that. If not, there should be . . . . .

Somewhere around 300 DPI should be enough for your purposes so, make sure ImageMagick is installed and do a little math:

300 x 8.5 in = 2550 pixels wide by 300 x 11 in = 3,300 pixels tall

$ convert -size 2550x3300 mypdf.pdf mypdf_page%02d.jpg

And that's it!

See `man ImageMagick` and `man convert` if you get lost.
