I'd prefer to keep it as text (or even ASCII) because we will not gain much from
converting it to some other format. Who wants to have got PDF or JPEG
can produce them with a CUPS' pdf backend as:

$ lpr -Ppdf bsd-family-tree
$ file /home/guru/cups-pdf/bsd-family-tree.pdf
/home/guru/cups-pdf/bsd-family-tree.pdf: PDF document, version 1.4

and produce from there the 12 pages as JPEG with:

$ convert /home/guru/cups-pdf/bsd-family-tree.pdf /tmp/bsd-family-tree.jpg
$ ls -ltr /tmp/bsd-family-tree*
-rw-r--r--  1 guru  wheel   77005 20 dic.  09:37 /tmp/bsd-family-tree-0.jpg

-rw-r--r--  1 guru  wheel  162618 20 dic.  09:37 /tmp/bsd-family-tree-8.jpg
-rw-r--r--  1 guru  wheel  153778 20 dic.  09:37 /tmp/bsd-family-tree-9.jpg
-rw-r--r--  1 guru  wheel  178014 20 dic.  09:37 /tmp/bsd-family-tree-10.jpg
-rw-r--r--  1 guru  wheel    9893 20 dic.  09:37 /tmp/bsd-family-tree-11.jpg

Btw: The file is not ASCII, but UTF-8 due to a German Umlaut in some
name:

$ iconv -f utf-8 -t ascii bsd-family-tree  > /tmp/i
iconv: warning: invalid characters: 1
$ diff bsd-family-tree /tmp/i
