Quick to convert PDF page to PNG image using C#.NET


The following steps and sample c# code will show how to quickly convert a PDF page to PNG image.

  1. Create a new PDFDocument with an existing PDF file loaded
  2. Get a PDFPage object from the first page of the PDF document
  3. Call PDFPage.ConvertToImage() to convert PDF page to a PNG image file


            String inputFilePath = @"W:\Projects\Test-Files\file1.pdf";
            String outputFilePath = @"W:\Projects\Test-Output\RasterEdge.com\pdf-convert-pdf-to-png-start.png";

            //  Open file and get the target page
            PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);

            PDFPage page = (PDFPage)doc.GetPage(0);
            //  Convert page to a PNG image
            page.ConvertToImage(ImageType.PNG, outputFilePath);




PDF to PNG Image Options Using C#


With XDoc.PDF for .NET, you can easily convert single PDF file or mutliple PDF documents into PNG images. The following png image settings supported in class "ImageOutputOption":


  1. Color: Output png image is Monochrome, Gray, Color.

  2. PngInterlance: True, create an Interlaced PNG; False, create a Non-interlaced PNG.
    Non-interlaced PNG encodes an image from start to finish; but Interlaced PNG encodes a whole image at low quality at beginning and then on each successive pass it encodes more of the detail, until the complete image has been processed.

  3. PngFilter: In PNG, a filter algorithm could be applied before compression which makes the image data for optimum compression.
    None: the scanline is transmitted unmodified.
    Sub: it transmits the difference between each byte and the value of the corresponding byte of the prior pixel.
    Up: it is just like the Sub filter except that the pixel immediately above the current pixel, rather than just to its left, is used as the predictor.
    Average: it uses the average of the two neighboring pixels (left and above) to predict the value of a pixel.
    Paeth: it computes a simple linear function of the 3 neighboring pixels (left, above, upper left), then chooses as predictor the neighboring pixel closest to the computed value.

  4. Zoom: Set zoom value to 2F. Use more pixels to render the page.

  5. Resolution: Set image resolution value in the PNG file.



String inputFilePath = @"C:\1.pdf";
String outputFilePath = @"C:\output.png";

ImageOutputOption options = new ImageOutputOption();
//  Set output image type.
options.Type = ImageType.PNG;
//  Output image is grayscale.
options.Color = ColorType.Gray;
//  Set interlaced flag to true.
options.PngInterlance = true;
//  Set filter type to SUB
options.PngFilter = FilterPNG.SUB;
//  Set zoom value to 2F. Use more pixels to render the page.
options.Zoom = 2F;
//  Set resolution value in the PNG file to 300 dpi.
options.Resolution = 300;

//  Open file and get the target page
PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
PDFPage page = (PDFPage)doc.GetPage(0);
//  Convert page to a PNG image
page.ConvertToImage(options, outputFilePath);


String inputFilePath = @"C:\1.pdf";
String outputFilePath = @"C:\output.png";

ImageOutputOption options = new ImageOutputOption();
//  Set output image type.
options.Type = ImageType.PNG;
//  Output image is color.
options.Color = ColorType.Color;
//  Set interlaced flag to false.
options.PngInterlance = false;
//  Set filter type to Average
options.PngFilter = FilterPNG.Average;
//  Set resolution value in the PNG file to 192 dpi.
options.Resolution = 192;

//  Open file and get the target page
PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
PDFPage page = (PDFPage)doc.GetPage(0);
//  Convert page to a PNG image
page.ConvertToImage(options, outputFilePath);






How to convert multiple PDF files to PNG image files using C# .NET


The below steps and c# source code will instruct how to convert all PDF files in one file directory to PNG image files using C# .NET

  1. Get all PDF file paths under one directory
  2. For each PDF file, create a new PDFDocument with PDF content loaded.
  3. Call PDFPage.ConvertToImage() to convert each PDF page to a PNG image file


            String inputDirectory = @"C:\input\";
            String outputDirectory = @"C:\output\";
            String[] files = Directory.GetFiles(inputDirectory, "*.pdf");
            foreach (String filePath in files)
            {
                int startIdx = filePath.LastIndexOf("\\");
                int endIdx = filePath.LastIndexOf(".");
                String docName = filePath.Substring(startIdx + 1, endIdx - startIdx - 1);
                PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(filePath);
                doc.ConvertToImages(ImageType.PNG, outputDirectory, docName);
            }
