.
What is the best and most efficient way to convert a high-res
2.5-meg pdf to a high-res jpg without losing (too much) image quality?

I tried the 'convert' utility, but the result is poor quality.
Perhaps there are convert utility options that that might yield
a better result, but I don't know what they are or how to use them.

When I load the target pdf file into gimp and then save it as
a 300 pixel depth jpg image, the quality is inadequate. When
I try it at 600 pixel depth, the image quality is better but even
with a 3-meg file size the image quality is still not as good as
the original pdf file and my computer (with only 512-meg of ram)
seems to nearly choke.

Any suggestions for a better way to get a better result?
