PDF to JPG conversion using PHP


I'm trying to convert PDF to IMG (JPG) with help PHP.



I'm using imagick extension.



this is my code




$fp_pdf = fopen($pdf, 'rb');

$img = new imagick(); // [0] can be used to set page number
$img->readImageFile($fp_pdf);
$img->setImageFormat( "jpg" );
$img->setImageCompression(imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG);
$img->setImageCompressionQuality(90);

$img->setResolution(300,300);

$img->setImageUnits(imagick::RESOLUTION_PIXELSPERINCH);

$data = $img->getImageBlob();



my source pdf file has right dimension (210x297 mm, like A4 has). And everything looks good. But my jpg has page dimension as 842x595 px, and DPI is 72.



and img file much more smaller on paper then pdf, when i had print it.



what is a proper way to make image file from pdf and make it so big as pdf (on paper)

  1. It looks like you missed two setters:

    Imagick::setImagePage() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagick-setimagepage.php

    And:

    Imagick::setImageExtent() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagick-setimageextent.php

    In order to get the correct parameters for these functions, you may try the following:

    $fp_pdf = fopen($pdf, 'rb');
    $params=array();

    $img = new imagick();
    $img->readImageFile($fp_pdf);
    /*my modification: */$img->setImageUnits(imagick::RESOLUTION_PIXELSPERINCH);
    /*my modification: */$params=$img->identifyImage();
    $img->setImageFormat( "jpg" );
    $img->setImageCompression(imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG);
    $img->setImageCompressionQuality(90);
    /*my modification: */$img->setPage($params['geometry']['width'], $params['geometry']['height'], 0, 0)
    /*my modification: */$img->setResolution($params['resolution']['x'], $params['resolution']['y']);
    $img->setImageUnits(imagick::RESOLUTION_PIXELSPERINCH);
    $data = $img->getImageBlob();


    If you find that some others attributes should be set, then let me show you the information that $params is holding. It may proof useful for you:

    $params=array(
    [imageName],
    [format],
    [geometry] => Array
    (
    [width]
    [height]
    )
    [type],
    [colorSpace],
    [resolution],
    (
    [x]
    [y]
    )

    [units],
    [fileSize],
    [compression],
    [signature],


    )

    To be honest, I'm not completely sure if this will work. Is just a try in order to help you. I sincerely hope it does.

  2. You could use imagemagick through exec() or similar, the shell arguments are much less verbose than the PHP extension.

    $pdf_file = escapeshellarg( "mysafepdf.pdf" );
    $jpg_file = escapeshellarg( "output.jpg" );

    $result = 0;
    exec( "convert -density 300 {$pdf_file} {$jpg_file}", null, $result );

    // at this point $result should == 0 if the conversion was successful


    It's the "-density" (which sets the DPI to read the source file as) option that specifically fixes your problem.

    Also imagemagick by default uses a -quality setting of 92 for JPEG writing in most cases - so you probably don't need to explicitly declare it.

  3. ImageMagick uses GhostScript to process JPEGs, so you'd do better to exec GhostScript directly, which would be much more efficient and give you more control. It would also be only 1 exec statement, instead of playing around with the IMagick functions.

  4. You have to call setResolution before reading the image. Otherwise imagemagick will use the default system dpi.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
