In Drupal 6, you can apply patches to imagecache module and imageapi
module that allow you to view (as jpg, png or gif files) a PDF or tiff
files that have been uploaded in a CCK filefield. The converted files
can then be displayed in views.

This requires:
1. Installing imageapi and imagecache modules
2. Choosing the ImageMagick toolkit at admin/settings/imageapi
3. Applying the patches and following the instructions at:

This functionality should be built-in to Drupal 7 and the D7 version of
imageapi_imagemagick module, though I believe more work is needed on the
module:
