I'm often amazed how easy it is to do things in linux.
My wife decided she wants a storybook in pdf converted to a whole bunch of little images pasted in a strip for a craft activity for her children's group.
"No problem," I said.
Indeed it was no problem. The fantastic convert command instantly changed a 12 page pdf to separate jpg files.

Then it's just a work of seconds to resize the images and import them into a Write document.
Hit "Print". Job done!
