Load PDF into UIImage or UIImageView?

Question

Hi everybody! This is my first ever question on stackoverflow.

I'm trying to load a PDF file stored in Resources into a UIImage/UIImageView object in the iPhone SDK. Is this at all possible without converting the PDF to an image? If not, what are the member functions for converting a PDF into a PNG? I would really prefer to preserve the PDF if at all pssoible.

Thanks so much for the help!

PDFs can be loaded by UIWebView. If you need more control you can use Quartz 2D to render PDFs: Quartz2D
