Is it possible to convert a PDF document that a user uploaded to JPG format on the server using ColdFusion 8? If not, is there a product that can do so?

Take a look at the cfpdf tag. You can use the thumbnail attribute with whatever percentage is needed.

I second -==cfSearching==-. May I share my first experience with the thumbnail
functionality in cfpdf.

I copied the following code from the Adobe CF 8 documentation and applied it
to a 158 page document, db4o.pdf. Coldfusion duly created the directory and 158
Jpegs (one per page) in 50 seconds.



<!--- Generate a thumbnail image for each page in the PDF source document,
create a directory (if it doesn't already exist) in the web root that is a
concatenation of the PDF source name and the word "thumbnails", and save the
thumbnail images in that directory. --->
<cfset mypdf="db4o">
<cfpdf action="thumbnail" source="#mypdf#.pdf" overwrite="yes"
destination="#mypdf#_thumbnails" scale="100">
done thumbnailing every page!
