Somewhere around 300 DPI should be enough for your purposes so, make sure 
ImageMagick is installed and do a little math:

300 x 8.5 in = 2550 pixels wide
by 300 x 11 in = 3,300 pixels tall

$ convert -size 2550x3300 mypdf.pdf mypdf_page%02d.jpg

And that's it!

See `man ImageMagick` and `man convert` if you get lost.
