You can use gimp to automate the conversion of pdf's to specified output
file formats/sizes.   This is good for batch work.
xpdfreader also has some good utilities/functionality depending upon what
you are trying to do.

import from multi-page png, and automating pdf-> png

2019-07-12 Thread Dr. Hawkins via use-livecode

As I’m trying to get a temporary workaround for the engine pixel-rendering a 
pdf widget rather than including the pdf, I have a two part question:

1) is there a straightforward way to batch convert pdf to png of specified 
density?
2) for a multipage png, is there a “decent” way to use import to get a chunk of 
a specified page, or do I need to know the pixel height of the page and do the 
math?
