You can use docsplit gem.

gem 'docsplit'

Just add the above line to your gemfile, then bundle install and you can convert a pdf file to jpeg images using the code,

Docsplit.extract_images('path/to/file',:format => [:jpeg])

This gem require some dependencies like GraphicsMagick, Poppler to be installed on your system.

Follow the link to install dependencies and to know more about the gem,
