Export PDF pages to a series of images in Java

Asked 2009-02-15T01:38:01.700

I need to export the pages of an arbitrary PDF document into a series of individual images in jpeg/png/etc format. I need to do this in in Java.

Although I do know about iText, PDFBox and various other java pdf libraries, I am hoping for a pointer to some working example, or some how-to.

Thanks.

There are different libraries to do it. I have achieved this with PDFBox. But in my opinion the most efficient solution is to use ghostscript. But if you think you need an easy solution, use ImageMagick. But ImageMagick internally calls the ghostscript. Using ghostscript or imagemagick give you a better solution. It is much faster than any other libraries.
