Converting a pdf document to a jpeg image C#

HI There,

How can I convert a pdf document to a jpeg image using c sharp? I need to do this on a web application. If someone can help me out with some code that would be great.

Sean - thanks in advance

Before you can start the code, you need a suitable product installed.
This may be more challenging than you realise.

You cannot use Acrobat for this, because Acrobat must not be installed
on a server. Adobe's PDF Library might work, but that has a C/C++
linkage. Adobe's LiveCycle products seem to be Java based; not sure if
one of them does this.

Is opensource and use ghostscript (free download)

example of use:
