Create PNG (from pdf?)

Hi,

in my online application, I create pdf reports with artefact. Works great.

Now, I want to show small previews of those reports with real data.
I want them to be images (png).

I am searching for ideas how to solve this.

I have a list of advantages/disadvantages of various ways but no final idea/decision.

I am very interested in ideas of the community.
Perhaps someone had a similar problem? How did you solve this?

Regards
Sabine

In our editorial system we use ImageMagick for this task. I guess you
have this option on your list. If not, have a look at
<http://imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=19432>.
I only can state, ImageMagick is doing this job reliable at over 1000
clients.

Regards,
Franz Josef

Hi Franz Josef,

thank you. Torsten Bergmann recommended http://pdfbox.apache.org/ to me and I am just playing around with it. My first impression is, that ImageMagick has more features. It is great to have 2 promising alternatives. I will have a look at it, too.

Regards
