We made an RC release.
Added tests to the module.
Provided a new drush command to regenerate images from PDF.
Also provided a bulk operation to regenerate images from PDF.
Refactored the code according to the D11 best practice.
After 3 weeks of testing, it seems like the release is more-a-less stable.
So we upgraded the version from alpha to beta as we still don't have tests.
Only when tests are added the RC release will be provided.

A rewrite.
The 3.x branch now (once more) uses core file management for the source PDF, not a custom field type.
Enable PDF conversion by choosing and configuring the widget for the source PDF.
See README.txt for more details.
Processing now happens on entity(node) update instead of form submission. This should behave as before, but also means that this process can run as part of bulk operations, not just form edit actions.
Includes better error handling.
The better batch processing is now in place, and seems stable.
Additional error checking etc was added, so check the logs if anything is screwy.
This has been working quietly for 3 months, so time to call it stable and recommended
Rewritten hugely to drop cron processing, replaced by batch processing on node save.
More docs and help.
Test the environment is good (requirements on status report page)
Full support for cover-page-only feature
Added self-configuring demo "features" feature.
Still needs review for
- deleting old files
- convert images on node preview, not just not save?
This branch contains some refactoring, moving the action into the nodeapi hook.
New features are
- easy option to efficiently just render the front page of a PDF : set the target imagefield to single instead of unlimited
- Should delete (all) the derivatives when the source PDF is deleted (needs testing)
- Uses batch API (progress bar) to build derivatives immediately, not on cron.
UNSTABLE, but feel free to try it if you can also locate and patch issues
Drupal PDF to ImageField first beta release, compatible to Drupal 6.x.
[edit] ~dman 2011-10
This original version does the processing by cron. If you still want that, stick with this.
The 2.x branch was created to move processing into batch and stopped using cron.
