I'm using paperclip to upload a pdf. Once the file is uploaded I need to split every page into a png. This is the command I think I need to use

convert -size 640x300 fileName.pdf slide.png

Now if I run that command from terminal it works fine, but I need a way of getting each slides name so I can add it into a model.

What's the best way to achieve this?
