Parsing PDF pages as javascript Images

PDF.js will let you render the PDF to a canvas. Then you can do something like:

var img = new Image();
img.src = pdfCanvas.toDataURL();

I've been very impressed with PDF.js. I love letting the client's browser do as much of the work for me as possible.

Looks like the first issue is a missing executable: identify. This is part of ImageMagick:

Make sure you also have it in your path.
