Failing to find a suitable format for the conversion, well, I'd hope it would not require resorting to reading format specs (ugly things, those). Maybe look for a way to get a thumbnail of the PDF through a print-preview like function?

Sorry for the lack of helpfulness. Finding such libraries may be easier with another language as well. Are you stuck with C++ from existing constraints? There may be libraries that allow the multi-step process if you cobble together a solution in a different language (or two).
I have been looking for some C++ libraries but I still haven't found anything specific for my purpose. I thought I might not be looking enough and wanted to see if people have any idea of such a lib. I think I like your idea of the thumbnail of the page, in case I can't find a better solution.

I am constrained to C++ as my program will be part of a bigger project that uses C++.
