Can anyone recommend a tool or a Dll for converting PDF's to jpeg's and vice versa? I've investigated some options. The Adobe SDK requires Acrobat Pro to be installed on the server, and I don't know if the DASP server has Acrobat Pro on it (doubt it). Ghostscript seems to be unmanaged Dll and requires a wrapper, kinda overly complicated to me.... paid options are overly expensive for what I'm doing. Another post said DASP was using "WebSupergoo ABCpdf.NET" on the 2003 servers... but I'm on 2008 now. Is there an easy way to do this?
I noticed their site, but have not found much documentation aside from this: http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/80/Create-PDFs-in-ASP.NET-getting-started-with-iTextSharp I will check it out and get back with the results...
Well I've been working on this for a couple hours and feel like I keep getting more and more stuck. First, there is virtually no documentation on iTextSharp for .Net, besides a few forum posts. Second, I don't even know if the dll has a 64 bit version. I feel like I should look for an entirely different approach. Most importantly, I do not think iTextSharp even does PDF to JPG conversion. At least I don't think it does, hard to tell anything without .Net documentation. It seems to be more for creating PDFs. I believe it would be simple if DASP just had Acrobat Pro on their server, or some other utility. Most I've seen require an actual installation.
Here's another http://www.pdfsharp.net/MainPage.ashx. There are a good few sample applications for this one here http://www.pdfsharp.net/wiki/PDFsharpSamples.ashx
