I think ImageMagick does most of what you need...?   http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php at least convert pdf to jpg from the command line. It also does cropping, but that would leave you to figure out how to capture the desired crop dimensions... /m     : Hey all, :    : Ive been tasked with redesigning a UI for an expense reimbursement system.  :  One of the desires is to be able to crop images on the fly while uploading :  and the possibility of converting pdfs to images.  In a meeting, it was :  specifically demoed using Googles image upload for a user profile where you :  can crop one part of an image to use. :    : Does anyone have any recommendations on any software that is fairly lean and :  not too pricey that can accomplish this?  I read where cfpdf can create :  thumbnails from a pdf, but I didnt see where it can convert a pdf to an :  image.  Cfimage doesnt really have the ability to crop.  I found Magic Zoom :  but its not quite what Im looking for. :    : Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :    : Thanks, : Jeff Mischa Uppelschoten VP of Technology The Banker's Exchange, LLC. 4200 Highlands Parkway SE Suite A Smyrna, GA 30082-5198 Phone:    (404) 605-0100 ext. 10 Fax:    (404) 355-7930 Web:    www.BankersX.com Follow this link for Instant Web Chat: http://www.bankersx.com/Contact/chat.cfm?Queue=MUPPELSCHOTEN ----------------------- Original Message -----------------------    From: Jeff Howard <jeh...@gmail.com> To: discussion@acfug.org Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:22:09 -0500 Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] A question on image uploads    Hey all,   I've been tasked with redesigning a UI for an expense reimbursement system.  One of the desires is to be able to crop images on the fly while uploading and the possibility of converting pdfs to images.  In a meeting, it was specifically demoed using Google's image upload for a user profile where you can crop one part of an image to use.   Does anyone have any recommendations on any software that is fairly lean and not too pricey that can accomplish this?  I read where cfpdf can create thumbnails from a pdf, but I didn't see where it can convert a pdf to an image.  Cfimage doesn't really have the ability to crop.  I found Magic Zoom but it's not quite what I'm looking for.   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks, Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
