I've always used Imagemagick's 'convert' util to do it - 

'convert foo.pdf foo.tif'  will produce a multi-page TIFF image
corresponding to the input pdf file.

'convert foo.pdf foo%02d.tif' will give you seperate TIFF images for
each page (which is the more useful flavour)


I believe Ghostscript will do it too, and there are at least a couple of
other utils I've stumbled across in the past to do this (names elude me
right now!)
