Tried that and got the same (unsatisfactory) result as when I used
just convert file.pdf file.jpg. The resulting image has inverted
colors kind of like a negative. So I tried doing it to file.png
instead of to .jpg and that produced the correct colors but very
poor resolution.

$ sudo aptitude install texlive-base-bin sam2p
I'm using Mandriva and do not find either 'aptitude' or 'texlive'
or 'sam2p' or 'xsane' on my system.
Hummm. Now what?
I know my source pdf file is very high res because when I zoom
it up to 400%, every detail is very precise and crisp. The image
I am trying to convert is a book cover design that can be seen
at this link:

I need to convert this to a jpg so I can get a high-res photo
print of this file.
