Another thought: do you know what the PDF contains? Is it just a TIFF
or other image format wrapped up in PDF? If so, you can probably just
convert the PDF into a JPG or GIF and use the IMG. Of course, if
push comes to shove you could always just take a screenshot while view
the PDF at %100 and convert that file to a GIF or JPG.
Are you trying to do this programatically for a number of PDFs, or is
this the only one (or one of a static set)?
