Converting Page 2 of a PDF

Post by Ray@LinkIt.Com » Thu Apr 04, 2013 12:24 pm

After studying posts on this I still see no way to display page 2, page 3, etc. of a PDF file (with the purpose of getting a snapshot of it to convert to a PNG or JPEG). Displaying the PDF in a Browser object seems to only display the first page, and while displaying a PDF in a Player object will let me manually scroll to the other pages, I can't find any way to do this via a script . Can this be done?

Hi Ray,

You could look at using imagemagick for the conversion. It enables you to convert full pdf's to individual images or just specify a page number to convert 1 specific page.
