Python API for PDF
Create, edit, protect and convert PDF documents to multiple formats within Python applications without any Adobe Acrobat dependencies.
Overview
Aspose.PDF is a PDF document generation library for Python that makes creating complex, multi-page, printable documents easy.
API is designed to be simple, so generating complex documents has been often as simple as a few function calls. As the name suggests, the library is developed based on program code in C++. This allowed us to make it as fast as possible, and made it portable to different operating systems.

Save PDF pages as JPEG images in Python
To save page as image we need to complete the following steps: create a Document object, get the page from the document, create a Resolution object, create a JpegDevice object, convert the page to a JPEG image.
Python: Convert PDF to JPG
import AsposePDFPythonWrappers as ap
document = ap.Document("sample.pdf")
page = document.pages[1]
res = ap.Resolution(300)
device = ap.JpegDevice(1239,1754,res)
device.process(page,"sample.jpg")
