Re: Can iText export PDF page region as image?

Hi Feng,

As far as I know iText is not suitable for these things.

Try convert from imageMagick. It's free and runs in batch mode in almost
all SO.

Exmple of ImageMagick's convert:

convert filename.pdf filename.tif

I have put the tif format because it supports multipage image files. In
case your pdf contains several pages you can also do things like:

convert filename.pdf[0] filename_0.png

In this case you are converting just the first page, now to png.

And so on...

convert filename.pdf[1] filename_1.png
convert filename.pdf[2] filename_2.png

Then you can extract whatever part of the image you wants. I think convert
also does such thing.

Hope this helps

Jose
