Hello,

Does anyone knows how to get screenshots from a PDF document pages?

Each page would be saved into an image. A simple screenshot.

I would like to create my own code since I only need this functionality.

Thank You,

Miguel

A) Render PDF yourself (not easy).

B) Take actual screen shots (probably a pain to manipulate).

All in all, I have a gut feeling it won't be easy.
 
There are command line operated programmes such as Ghostscript or ImageMagick that will convert PDF to image files like TIFF, PNG or JPEG. I'd use these.
