Along the lines of the same program my boss has asked for - he threw image conversion into the mix. Specifically he wants to use PHP to generate thumbnails from the following formats:

JPEG, GIF, PNG (not a problem) ... TIFF, PDF, EPS, AI, PUB

Now - I've been googling and getting a lot of "Go use ImageMagick" but honestly - neither myself nor my boss wants to go that option, and are prepared to just suffer with the first 3 options. Do any of you know of an a way to have PHP create an image from those other formats (particularly PDF) that can be accessed a little more simply, like the simple "imagecreatefrom" built-in functions?
