Convert PDF to JPG without Imagemagick
Is there a way to convert a common UTF-8 encoded PDF to a JPG without using ImageMagick or Ghostscript?
The reason I'm asking is, that I have to replace or "simply" double layer a small part (date) of a PDF document. I don't want to install all that stuff for it and wonder if there is a different way to do it.
Sadly Google couldn't give me an anwser so I decided to give SU a chance.

If it is not to be done dynamically you can do that "by hand".
Every good PDF Printer does that. For example Bullzip or PDF24.
If you want to do it in a script, maybe you can also use one of the various online converters like http://pdf2jpg.net/ for instance.

If you want to edit the resulting image file, you will need an image editor. If you are on a UNIX platform, that will probably be gimp.
If so, you're in luck, gimp can handle PDFs, just open the file directly in gimp, edit it and save as you wish.

You can use GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat ( > Save as JPG, JPEG).
Or you can use the Online Converter as Stefan mentioned if the document is not private, sensitive.
