Use ghostscript to convert PDF to progressive JPEG for web use?

I am using Ghostscript on the command line to extract PDF pages as JPEGs.

Is there any switch that I can set in the command to make them progressive JPEGs or do I need to pipe it through ImageMagick or similar?

2022 ... You can ;)

You convert your pdf to jpeg and use another lib to convert the resulted jpeg to a progressive jpeg

Tested with GhostScript v9.55.0 and jpegtran and libjpeg-turbo-official_2.1.4

Once you have your regular JPEG file (file.jpg) you can run:

jpegtran -copy none -progressive file.jpg > file-progr.jpg

You can't create a progressive JPEG with Ghostscript, it doesn't support that. You will have to use some other tool to do that, I suspect your best bet is to create a TIFF and have ImageMagick convert it.
