Hi Jeff,
If you are running on windows and want to buy something, you can use this:
http://www.softinterface.com/Convert-PDF-To-Image/Convert-PDF-To-Tiff.htm

If you are running LiveCycle you can go with this:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/000437.html

Or you can use Java with this method.

Hope that helps!

I think ImageMagick
 does most of what you need...?
 
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php
at least convert pdf to jpg from the
 command line. It also does cropping, but
 that would leave you to figure out how to
 capture the desired crop dimensions...

 A question on image uploads
  
Hey all,
 
I've been tasked with redesigning a
 UI for an expense reimbursement system. 
 One of the desires is to be able to crop
 images on the fly while uploading and the
 possibility of converting pdfs to images. 
 In a meeting, it was specifically demoed
 using Google's image upload for a user profile
 where you can crop one part of an image to
 use.
 
Does anyone have any recommendations
 on any software that is fairly lean and not
 too pricey that can accomplish this? 
 I read where cfpdf can create thumbnails
 from a pdf, but I didn't see where it can
 convert a pdf to an image.  Cfimage
 doesn't really have the ability to crop. 
 I found Magic Zoom but it's not quite what
 I'm looking for.
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Jeff

[ACFUG Discuss] A question on image uploads

2010-02-22 Thread Jeff Howard 
Hey all,

I've been tasked with redesigning a UI for an expense reimbursement system.
One of the desires is to be able to crop images on the fly while uploading
and the possibility of converting pdfs to images.  In a meeting, it was
specifically demoed using Google's image upload for a user profile where you
can crop one part of an image to use.

Does anyone have any recommendations on any software that is fairly lean and
not too pricey that can accomplish this?  I read where cfpdf can create
thumbnails from a pdf, but I didn't see where it can convert a pdf to an
image.  Cfimage doesn't really have the ability to crop.  I found Magic Zoom
but it's not quite what I'm looking for.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
