How to convert PDF file to PNG file using Linux module

Question

I want to convert some of my PDF files into PNG files. Some websites do this, but it's not free for a large number of files. Is there any Linux module that I can use for it? I am using Ubuntu OS.

Answer 1

You can use "ImageMagick" module to convert a PDF file to a PNG file. You need to first install "ImageMagick" on Ubuntu machine using the following command:

sudo apt install imagemagick

To convert PDF to PNG, use the following command:

convert -density 300 input.pdf output.png

"-density 300": Sets the resolution to 300 DPI for better quality. You can change it as per your requirements.

"input.pdf": Replace with the path to your PDF file.

"output.png": Replace with the desired name for the PNG file.
