Hi, thanks for your work with CCK. I am using image.module in combination with a few patches I found so that I can upload PDF's and display them as images. Can this be done with imagefield?

nope, use a file field.

Thanks for the response. Filefield does not accomplish what I am suggesting. I am looking to display a PDF as an image, so that an end user can upload a PDF file, the PDF is converted to a JPEG, and then displayed as an image on a site. I currently use image.module (plus a few patches) to do this but I would rather use imagefield. I have not found another module that converts PDFs to images.

If it's possible, and if there's enough interest in it, I am willing to sponsor it and help out as much as possible.

I changed the name to better reflect the feature I am suggesting.

won't happen in the core module. you could look at writing some other contrib module but in either case it'd be much harder to do this in D5 than D6.

You can use pdf_to_imagefield module.
