[ubuntu-za] Open Office to jpeg

[Keegan Carruthers-Smith]

You can skip the gimp step if you have the imagemagick package
installed. Then on the command line you can run::

  convert input.pdf output.jpg

This will output a series of .jpg files of the format output-num.jpg
where num is the page number in the pdf (starting from 0). There is
likely a way to convert an OO document to pdf on the command line, so
you can chain the two commands for a quick solution.
