You can import the *.pdf to GIMP and export it to a *.png.

You can do a screen shot and stitch the picture in GIMP.

Just bump to this link, might be useful to others who might need it but I haven't try it.

It is Imagemagick actually. Virtually every Linux distro has this package. convert is one of the programs included.

My experience is that you need at least -density 200 in order to get an acceptable resolution. Files tned to get quite large.
