Here you have my solution. Use Imagick directly in your php code.

Convert all PDF pages to JPG

 // create Imagick object
 $imagick = new Imagick();
 // Reads image from PDF
 $imagick->readImage('file.pdf');
 // Writes an image
 $imagick->writeImages('converted.jpg', false);

Convert specific PDF page to JPG

 // create Imagick object
 $imagick = new Imagick();
 // Read image from PDF
 $imagick->readImage('test.pdf[0]');
 // Writes an image
 $imagick->writeImages('converted_page_one.jpg');

Another way to deal with this problem is to use spatie/pdf-to-image library.

Cheers!
