How do I convert a pdf to an image?

How do I convert a pdf to an image (say a .png or .tiff file)?

Is there a way to do this without purchasing a third-party component?

You can use next solution with fitz and PIL python libraries

import io
import fitz
from PIL import Image 

def process_pdf(self, io_bytes: io.BytesIO) -> None:
    try:
        pdf = fitz.open(stream=io_bytes, filetype="pdf")
    except fitz.fitz.FileDataError:
        msg = "Broken pdf for file"
        raise RuntimeError(msg)

    for page_num in range(0, pdf.page_count):
        page = pdf.load_page(page_num)
        logging.info("yield page %s/%s", page_num, pdf.page_count)
        dpi = min(int(300 * 1080 / max(page.mediabox_size.x, page.mediabox_size.y)), 300)
        # A4 is ~12 inches, # 300 dpi => 1mm
        pix = page.get_pixmap(dpi=dpi)
        with io.BytesIO() as page_io_bytes:
            page_io_bytes.write(pix.pil_tobytes(format="webp", optimize=True))
            with Image.open(page_io_bytes) as image:
                image.save(f"page_{page_num + 1}.png", "png")

I assume that you want to manually convert a PDF. Yo have two ways of doing it:

Online:

  • PRO: very very easy.

  • CONTRA: if your document is somewhat private your are giving it away.

I used last week Neevia and worked perfectly: http://convert.neevia.com/pdfconvert/

In your machine

  • PRO: More Secure.

  • CONTRA: You need to download a program and have it setup.

Here you can find 3 ways of converting it online and another three from your pc. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-ways-to-convert-a-pdf-file-to-a-jpg-image/
