Do you have access to Adobe Photoshop?

Just open the PDF page in one of those programs (select the desired page and
bitmap resolution), change to RGB color if it was in CMYK, then save as
BMP.

You can get pretty much as high resolution on the bitmap as you like (provided
you have the memory to handle huge bitmaps), *IF* the original PDF had vector
Postscript stuff to describe the tracks. If it's a GIF or JPG image 
internally,
there will be other issues.

(or use Ghostscript/GSView, as Bob Blick suggests- download both programs eg.
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/get46.htm , and use the "Convert"
function).
