I use `convert' tool from ImageMagick to convert tioga-generated PDFs to
raster web formats, e.g.

$ convert -quality 90 -density 128 -crop 640x480+0+80 file.pdf file.jpg

The same for PNG or anything, just change the extension of the output
file. You might wish to play with -density and -crop parameters
to adjust them according to your needs.
