I started using LaTeX at last. and immediately I ran into a few
things.

Normally you use pdflatex to convert a LaTeX document to a pdf
document. But at this moment I want a png file. I can use convert from
ImageMagick to convert the pdf to png, but I was wondering if I could
convert a LaTeX document directly to a png.

Not as far as I know. PNG is a single-page format, and most LaTeX
documents are multi-page. If I need a PNG from a page of a LaTEX
document I do what you do: extract the page and use ImageMagick or GIMP
to create the PNG.

But maybe there is something else out there that I have missed.

you can run

latex file

to create a dvi and then

dvipng file

It will create one png for every page of your document.

That's what I thought. But since this too is a two step process with an
intermediate file you may just as well stick to pdf, unless going
through dvi yields a higher quality.
