Have you tried the unix command "convert" which is powerfull to convert image from format to format.
you can do
convert file.pdf to file.gif

that is portable and likely to be found on any machine (or can be

distributed with the script)

Have you looked at Image Events that's built into OS X? I've never used
it, but open its dictionary in Script Editor & take a look.

Yes, I took a look at that...

Application "Image Events" leads me to this bit of code:

tell application "Image Events"
    set theImage to open file (tempfile as string)
    save theImage as PNG in file outputFile without icon
    close theImage
end tell

This works fine, as does "…as JPEG…", "…as BMP…" and all the 8 supported
file types. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow me a GIF format :(


Still, I should be able to work round it using .PNG.

Thanks :)
