Requirements

You should have Imagick installed. On Ubuntu you can install it by issuing this command:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick php5-imagick

Install

The package can be installed via composer:

$ composer require spatie/pdf-to-image

Usage

Converting a pdf to an image is easy.

$pdf = new Spatie\PdfToImage\Pdf($pathToPdf);
$pdf->saveImage($pathToWhereImageShouldBeStored);

If the path you pass to saveImage has the extensions jpg, jpeg, or png the image will be saved in that format. Otherwise the output will be a jpg.

##Other methods You can get the total number of pages in the pdf:

$pdf->getNumberOfPages(); //returns an int

By default the first page of the pdf will be rendered. If you want to render another page you can do so:

$pdf->setPage(2)
    ->saveImage($pathToWhereImageShouldBeStored); //saves the second page

You can override the output format:

$pdf->setOutputFormat('png')
    ->saveImage($pathToWhereImageShouldBeStored); //the output wil be a png, no matter what
