A PHP-wrapper to the Ghostscript-CLI

The main reason to create this library was to create images from PDF- or Postscript-files. As those Files can be either in RGB- or in CMYK-Colorspace the library tries to handle colors so that the original file and the image are close in color-impression. This is especially important as f.e. PNG is RGB-only while JPEG can be either in RGB or CMYK.

Multipaged PDF-Files will create multiple images! To not overwrite your image-files the filename will be passed to sprintf to create a filename containing the number of the page. The one and only parameter will be the number of the page.

Why another Ghostscript-Wrapper?
--------------------------------

[](#why-another-ghostscript-wrapper)

There are currently 2 other wrappers around that both didn't meet the requirements I had:

- [gravitymedia/ghostscript](https://packagist.org/packages/gravitymedia/ghostscript)
- [alchemy/ghostscript](https://packagist.org/packages/alchemy/ghostscript)

While the gravitymedia library concentrates more on creating PDFs from input-media the alchemy library is not easily extendable and doesn't handle the parameters to finetune Ghostscript the way I needed them.

So this library tries to handle most of the important switches to ghostscript and also allows you to extend the library by implementing your own driver using the `DriverInterface`. More information on that will be shown in the [Documentation](https://heiglandreas.github.io/Org_Heigl_Ghostscript)

Installation
