Q: 

Converting PDF to images?

I need to import PDF documents into Microsoft OneNote, which means converting the PDF file to an image. Is there a descent free library I can use from .NET to convert the PDF file to a BMP/PNG/JPEG file? Maybe an open source project?

+5  A: 

Try Ghostscript. Here's a wrapper for .NET.

ImageMagick has wrappers around that.

So you're recommending printing the PDF, setting it down on a wooden table, and photographing it?

What I meant was, anything you can see on the screen, you can have as a BMP image. Use Ctrl + Print Screen to capture the image, and then paste it into Paint.
