How to Convert PDF to PNG


Python developers can easily load & convert PDF files to PNG in just a few lines of code.

  1. Import required modules from aspose.pdf library, including Document class for loading PDF files.Ensure that the necessary libraries are installed and imported before proceeding.
  2. Specify the path to the input PDF document by joining indir with infile, ensuring correct directory structure for locating the input file correctly.
  3. Load the input PDF document into a Document object using apdf.DOCument(), allowing access to its features and properties for processing or manipulation.
  4. Define the desired image resolution for the output images, which affects the quality and size of the resulting PNG files.A resolution of 300 DPI is commonly used for high-quality images.
  5. Create a PNG device object using apdf.devices.PngDevice(), which will be used to process each page of the PDF document and save it as a PNG image.
  6. Initialize a page counter variable (page_count) to keep track of the current page being processed.This is necessary for iterating through all pages of the PDF document.
  7. Use a while loop to iterate through each page of the loaded PDF document, processing each page using the PNG device object and saving the resulting image to disk.
  8. Open an output file stream for each processed image, and write the encoded image data to this stream.This saves the converted images to disk in PNG format.
  9. Close each opened image stream after writing the image data to ensure proper resource release.
  10. Increment the page counter variable (page_count) to move on to the next page in the PDF document.

Here is an example that demonstrates how to convert PDF to PNG in Python. You can follow these easy steps to convert your PDF file to PNG format. First, upload your PDF file and then simply save it as a PNG file. You can use fully qualified filenames for both PDF reading and PNG writing. The output PNG content and formatting will be identical to the original PDF document.

Example: Convert PDF to PNG via Python

This sample code shows PDF to PNG Python Conversion

Input file:

File not added

Output format:

PNG

Output file:

import aspose.pdf as apdf

from os import path
from io import FileIO

path_infile = path.join(self.data_dir, infile)
path_outfile = path.join(self.data_dir, outfile)

document = apdf.Document(path_infile)
resolution = apdf.devices.Resolution(300)

device = apdf.devices.PngDevice(resolution)
page_count = 1
while page_count <= len(document.pages):
    image_stream = FileIO(path_outfile + str(page_count) + "_out.png", "w")
    device.process(document.pages[page_count], image_stream)
    image_stream.close()
    page_count = page_count + 1

print(infile + " converted into " + outfile)
