How to Convert a PDF to an Image File in Node.js
Unlock the power of seamless PDF to image conversion with IronPDF in JavaScript by watching our step-by-step tutorial, and elevate your skills with advanced techniques for high-quality image outputs tailored to your specific needs!
In this comprehensive tutorial, you'll learn how to convert a PDF file to image files using IronPDF in JavaScript. The process begins with ensuring IronPDF is installed and importing the necessary classes, such as PDFDocument and ImageType from the IronPDF package. We start by loading an existing PDF document using the fromFile method, specifically sample-pdf-file.pdf. Once imported, the PDF's pages are extracted and saved as image files using the rasterize method.
The tutorial then introduces additional functionality, focusing on converting specific pages of the PDF to images in a different format. By utilizing an options object, users can set the image type to BMP and select specific pages for conversion, such as pages 0, 3, 5, and 8. The fromFile method is used again to load the PDF, followed by rasterizing the selected pages to BMP images, saved in a designated directory.
