**Convert a pdf to an image**
PHP wrapper for the [pdftoppm](http://linux.die.net/man/1/pdftoppm) command which is part of [poppler-utils](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppler_(software)).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Behind the scenes this package leverages [pdftoppm](http://linux.die.net/man/1/pdftoppm). You can verify if the binary installed on your system by issueing this command:

```
which pdftoppm
```

If it is installed it will return the path to the binary.

To install the binary you can use this command on Ubuntu or Debian:

```
apt-get install poppler-utils
```

On a mac you can install the binary using brew

```
brew install poppler
```

If you're on RedHat or CentOS use this:

```
yum install poppler-utils
```

Available packages:

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require lukasss93/pdf-to-ppm
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Converting a pdf to an image is easy.

```
use Lukasss93\PdfToPpm\PdfToPpm;

$pdf = PdfToPpm::create()->setPdf($pathToPdf);
$pdf->saveImage($pathToWhereImageShouldBeStored); // it will save the first page
```

If the path you pass to `saveImage` has the extensions `ppm`, `jpg`, `png` or `tif` the image will be saved in that format. Otherwise the output will be a jpg.

Converting all pdf pages:

```
use Lukasss93\PdfToPpm\PdfToPpm;

$pdf = PdfToPpm::create()->setPdf($pathToPdf);
$pdf->saveAllPagesAsImages($pathToWhereImageShouldBeStored);
```

### Other methods

[](#other-methods)

You can get the total number of pages in the pdf:

```
$pdf->getNumberOfPages(); //returns an int
```

By default the first page of the pdf will be rendered. If you want to render another page you can do so:

```
$pdf->setPage(2)
    ->saveImage($pathToWhereImageShouldBeStored); // it saves the second page
```

You can override the output format:

```
$pdf->setOutputFormat('png')
    ->saveImage($pathToWhereImageShouldBeStored); // the output wil be a png, no matter what
```

You can set the resolution (default: 144):

```
$pdf->setResolution(200); // sets the resolution
```

You can save image to grayscale:

```
$pdf->setGray(true); // sets the grayscale
```
