How i can convert first page of pdf to PNG whith PHP

Answer 1

why do you need to do it with php? it seems like a language ill suited for the task. you can just screenshot the first page and ta-da! it's a picture now

Answer 2

what happens is that I have a web page in which I upload pdf files I want to show the image of each pdf as a cover or img in miniature and I need to know how to generate image of the first page of each file

Answer 3

If you don't need to generate pg1 of each pdf as a png on the fly, then screenshot is the cheapest way to go or find a service that will happily do that for you. Much simpler.

If you must do it at runtime, then maybe this will help:

I haven't used it though, so I can't attest to its quality of craftsmanship.
