Examples

The following example shows how to convert PDF file to GIF Images.

[C#]
	// The path to your PDF Directory
	string dataDir = @"YOUR_DATA_DIRECTORY";

	// The file name of the PDF
	string pdfFile = @"YOUR_PDF_FILE";

	// Initialize instance of Document class
	using (Document pdfDocument = new Document(Path.Combine(dataDir, pdfFile)))
	{
		// Create Resolution object 	
		Resolution resolution = new Resolution(300);

		// Initialize GifDevice	
		GifDevice gifDevice = new GifDevice(resolution);
		for (int pageCount = 1; pageCount <= pdfDocument.Pages.Count; pageCount++)
		{
			using (FileStream gifStream =
			new FileStream($"{dataDir}image{pageCount}_out.gif",
			FileMode.Create))
			{
				// Convert a particular page and save the image to stream
				gifDevice.Process(pdfDocument.Pages[pageCount], gifStream);

				// Close stream
				gifStream.Close();
			}
		}
	}
[VB.NET]

    ' The path to your PDF Directory
    Dim dataDir As String = "YOUR_DATA_DIRECTORY"
    ' The file name of the PDF
    Dim pdfFile As String = "YOUR_PDF_FILE"
 
    ' Initialize instance of Document class 
	Using pdfDocument As Document = New Document(Path.Combine(dataDir, pdfFile))
		' Create Resolution object  
		Dim resolution As Resolution = New Resolution(300)
	
		' Initialize GifDevice  
		Dim gifDevice As GifDevice = New GifDevice(resolution)
		For pageCount As Integer = 1 To pdfDocument.Pages.Count
			Using gifStream As FileStream = New FileStream($"{dataDir}image{pageCount}_out.gif", FileMode.Create)
		   
				' Convert a particular page and save the image to stream
				gifDevice.Process(pdfDocument.Pages(pageCount), gifStream)

				' Close stream
				gifStream.Close()
			End Using
		Next
	End Using
