Convert PDF 1st page to image

Hi,

My requirement is as follows.

1. Read PDF document 1st page and return image (TIFF, JPEG, BMP)

2. Use only open source or Java API.

3. Should work with high resolution PDFs and large size PDF documents.

I tried with multivalent API, But it is not working with couple of PDF files. All images are not perfect. Couple of available APIs are at

http://schmidt.devlib.org/java/libraries-pdf.html

Any examples, pointers to other sites, hints, pseudo code or notes are appreciated.

Thank you,

Bhavani
