Graham,
you could use ImageMagick. http://www.imagemagick.org
It is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. But
you need only the command-line tool convert.
You could try the following command for a quick start for example:
convert -density 300x300 -trim your_source.pdf output.jpeg
This would convert the file "your_source.pdf" to the jpeg file output.jpeg
with a density of 300x300dpi
You can find more information about the commandline switches of convert at
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php
HTH,

Folks
I see in the archives some discussion of this topic, but it seemed to be
concentrated on the issue of reading the text in a PDF. I have to process some
images which exist as PDF files (with little or no text and anyway I don't want
to deconstruct it at all). I would be happy to turn the PDF into an image which
could be displayed, snapshotted etc., i.e. essentially a bitmap.
I don't think LiveCode can do this natively, but can anyone suggest a route
perhaps using another tool which would make this work automatically (I mean I
want the user to find the file using a normal dialog within a LiveCode program
and the image would then be imported without further action on the user's
part)? The target platform is PC.
TIA
Graham
