Converting an ai to jpg?

[Jip]

My phpInfo() page:

MagickWand Extension Version: 0.1.8
ImageMagick version: ImageMagick 6.2.9 09/27/06 Q16

The MagickWand supported image formats does NOT list the .ai format as a supported image format. Is there someway around this (php class?) so I can use MagickSetImageFormat() and convert an .ai file to an .eps, .png, or .jpg?

And BTW, how do I change the ImageMagick QuantumRange (MaxRGB)? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

You change the QuantumRange at build time. Under Unix/Linux add the -quantum-depth option to the configure command line. ImageMagick supports 8, 16, and 32-bit depths. Add --enable-hdri to add support for pixel values that exceed the quantum depth range.
