What about GraphicsMagick. The package seems to be not very easy to use
even if a COM ActiveX object is available for Windows and there is an
executable with command line interface, but the documentation is poor.
Originally derived from ImageMagick 5.5.2 it is available at:
http://www.graphicsmagick.org/
I would be glad to hear how to do convert a PDF into a series of jpegs
if it will become possible using it.
PythonMagick interface to ImageMagick seems to be no more supported and
if I remember it right, there was shortly a thread about it not really
helping to work with it on Python 2.4.2 - that is how I came to know
about GraphicsMagick.
Hope GraphicsMagick can what ImageMagick could, so this hint turns out
useful.
