open and convert pdf files

I wish to open and then convert a pdf or eps or ps file in Labview , and then convert to say TIFF so i can manipulate it in my application. Are there any vi's or methods whereby I can open and work with PDF files from Labview ? I have the IMAQ vision toolkit , which has support for reading/writing Jpeg ,Tiff ,Bmp , etc. Just not
PDF. Thanks

You can get A converter that will convert between PDF, EPS, and PS
file formats. It works on a Windows, Mac, or LINUX/UNIX box, and is
called AFPL Ghostscript. You can dowload it for free at
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
The site also has a large amount of documentation on using it,(as well
as a free viewer) b
ut I haven't had a lot of time to experiment with
it.
