How do i get a gif snapshot of a pdf page

I need to get a snapshot of a pdf page and store it as a '.gif' file.(just to let the user preview the file on mouse hover before opening it). Can this be done using "itextsharp"? Or is there a more efficient way of doing this? I saw SDK's like "PDF Extractor" which let me capture images 'inside' the pdf page, but nothing that lets me take a snapshot/preview of the pdf page. Can somebody please provide some insight in to this. I would highly appreciate any help.

you will need to use a Raster Image Processor (RIP) like Ghostscript or other interpreter like something from www.tallcomponents.com
