PDF to image conversion in Java

Here is a java code sample to provide PDF to image conversion in Java - just cut and paste into your code

/**instance of PdfDecoder to convert PDF into image*/
PdfDecoder decode_pdf = new PdfDecoder(true);

/**set mappings for non-embedded fonts to use*/
FontMappings.setFontReplacements();

/**open the PDF file - can also be a URL or a byte array*/
try {
    	decode_pdf.openPdfFile("C:/myPDF.pdf"); //file
		//decode_pdf.openPdfFile("C:/myPDF.pdf", "password"); //encrypted file
		//decode_pdf.openPdfArray(bytes); //bytes is byte[] array with PDF
		//decode_pdf.openPdfFileFromURL("http://www.mysite.com/myPDF.pdf",false);
		
    	/**get page 1 as an image*/
    	//page range if you want to extract all pages with a loop
    	//int start = 1,  end = decode_pdf.getPageCount();
    	BufferedImage img=decode_pdf.getPageAsImage(1);
	
	/**close the pdf file*/
	decode_pdf.closePdfFile();

} catch (PdfException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

ExtractPagesAsThumbnails - fully automated program to rasterize PDF pages as images and optionally scale.

HiResThumbnailExtraction - extract PDF pages at the best possible quality. If the images are larger than the PDF page, it scales up the PDF page rather than scaling down the image.
