Convert PDF File to Image - VB/C#

Question

Hello,

Was just wondering if anyone's written or come across a PDF to Image Conversion App!

If so, I need some guidelines or preferably, code.

I tried using some cheap s/w's but they all were turned out to be unreliable.

FYI: I need to process a large set of PDF Files (~5-10 K) and convert usually 1-2 Pages of it to an Image Format. JPEG/TIFF/Etc..

Thanks for your input.

Hello, If VB/C# constraint is soft I would advise you to try ImageMagick. To work with pdf files it is required to install postscript as well. Then you can try sth. like that

convert -resize 1000x2000 file.pdf hi-res%d.jpg

Here is an easy to use program: It's free too! http://download.cnet.com/PDF-XChange-Viewer/3000-10743_4-10598377.html

It's called PDF XChange Viewer.

I'm 95% certain this will be perfect for you. Just open your pdf in it and export to image. Lot's of settings for customization too.
