PDF to JPG

PDF to JPG conversion in C# .NET.

PDF files have become ubiquitous in the digital world, serving as a universal format for sharing documents across various platforms and devices. Their ability to maintain formatting and ensure consistency regardless of the viewing environment has made them indispensable in numerous industries and applications. However, there are instances where converting PDF files to other formats becomes necessary, particularly when it comes to sharing or presenting information in a more visually accessible manner. Therefore, by converting PDF documents to JPG images, you can easily extract specific pages or elements from PDF files and incorporate them into presentations, reports, or web content. Let’s explore the details on how we can transform PDF document to JPG using REST API.

Convert PDF to JPG using C# .NET

In this section, we are going to explore the details on achieving seamless PDF document to JPG conversion using C# .NET.

  1. Create an instance of Configuration class where we pass client credentials as arguments.
var configurations = new Configuration(clientId, clientSecret1);
  1. Initialize the ConvertApi where we pass Configuration object as an input argument.
var apiInstance = new ConvertApi(configurations);
  1. Upload the input PDF file to cloud storage while passing the name of the input PDF document.
fileUpload.UploadFile(new UploadFileRequest("input.pdf", stream));
  1. Create an instance ConvertSettings where we specify the name for input PDF, output format as jpg and the name for resultant JPEG image.
var settings = new ConvertSettings{...}
  1. Call the ConvertDocumentRequest API to convert PDF into JPG format. After successful conversion, the resultant JPG image is stored in cloud storage.
var response = apiInstance.ConvertDocument(new ConvertDocumentRequest(settings));

PDF to Image using cURL Commands

If you prefer command-line interfaces or require batch conversion capabilities, we can accomplish PDF document to JPG conversion using GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud and cURL commands, as they offer a straightforward and efficient solution. With cURL commands, you can easily initiate the conversion process, specify the input PDF file, and receive the resulting JPG images—all without the need for complex coding or integration.

The first step in this approach is to obtain your personalized credentials (App Key and App SID) and generate JWT access token. Once we have JWT token, please execute the following cURL command to convert PDF to image.

curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/conversion" \
-X POST \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-H  "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{  \"FilePath\": \"{inputFile}\",  \"Format\": \"jpg\",  \"LoadOptions\": {    \"Format\": \"JPG\"  },\"OutputPath\": \"{resultantFile}\"}"

Please replace inputFile with the name of input PDF document available in cloud storage, resultantFile with the name of output JPG image and accessToken with JWT token generated above. After successful conversion, the resultant file is saved to cloud storage.
