Convert PDF to JPEG with PHP and ImageMagick

Question

I\'m using a litte script to convert PDF to JPG. That works but the quality is very poor.

The script:

$im = new imagick( \'document.pdf[ 0]\' ); 
$im         


        

Answer 1

It can be done using setResolution, but you need to do it before loading an image. Try something like this:

// instantiate Imagick 
$im = new Imagick();

$im->setResolution(300,300);
$im->readimage('document.pdf[0]'); 
$im->setImageFormat('jpeg');    
$im->writeImage('thumb.jpg'); 
$im->clear(); 
$im->destroy();
