[Flashcoders] (From a PDF?) Getting bitmap data
You’re right Peter, thank you. I will try these out! Bill From: "Peter Ginneberge" Not sure what you mean with swc only.

I did find some other tools (just to mention them) but they are .swc-only; no source, and the customer needs to at least have the source available.

You should be able to use ImageMagick to get the image. See: http://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/867585-convert-pdf-image-imagemagick-ghostscript ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] (From a PDF?) Getting bitmap data successfully
best way to do it is to convert the PDF to a SWF and then work with it as a SWF. Something like this will do it http://www.swftools.org/ You can load the swf and each page of the pdf will be a frame of the swf On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 11:59 AM, wrote: > I need to pull in a PDF and be able to show thumbnails of the larger > graphics to the user. > They check off a couple and those are then saved as PNG or JPG files. > > I am ok on saving graphics as PNG/JPG (given a bitmap) and doing the UI > piece, but can’t seem to find anything on how to manipulate the PDF to pull > the bitmaps. > > Is there anything available short of Acrobat-SDK, and that is AS3-based? > > > There are a few utilities to do this*, but nothing code-based to glean > from. > > *Existing tools: > a-pdf.com > verypdf.com > sobolsoft.com > somepdf.com > dawningsoft.com > > I have contacted them; but they only offer command-line, no-source, > alternatives. > > Thanks > > ___ > Flashcoders mailing list > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] (From a PDF?) Getting bitmap data successfully
We used xpdf to generate jpgs / text of all our pdf files - that's opensource. Unfortunately this is command line too, so might not be any good to you, but it might be easier to generate thumbs for your PDF "statically" if you are re-using the same PDF's each time? http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/about.html HTH Glen On 02/12/2010 16:59, lists...@fo.com wrote: I need to pull in a PDF and be able to show thumbnails of the larger graphics to the user.

I need to pull in a PDF and be able to show thumbnails of the larger graphics to the user. They check off a couple and those are then saved as PNG or JPG files. I am ok on saving graphics as PNG/JPG (given a bitmap) and doing the UI piece, but can’t seem to find anything on how to manipulate the PDF to pull the bitmaps. Is there anything available short of Acrobat-SDK, and that is AS3-based?
