Conversion answer here: How do I save an image PDF file as an image?

As a note: if you use the PDFCreator project available from http://www.pdfforge.org/ the option to print a PDF as an image, or to print as an image is native.

Press Shift+F2 and write screenshot filename1.png 0 true

Found this standalone (Portable App) : Web Screen Capture, which could successfully save the webpage as an image...

Thanks everyone answered... :), suggestions are really valuable and made me think in many ways to get this done. "Karan"s answer made me think of Standalone applications which I was not aware of... Thanks a lot.
