I've done something like this in imagemagick, and it worked quite well, so I can vouch for this workflow. But just to clarify, I presume you will be creating static PDF files to place in the filesystem--not generate a PDF dynamically through Omeka when a user clicks to download a PDF (as in, Omeka files off an imagemagick process).
