How do I convert a PDF document to a preview image in PHP? [closed]

Answer 1

I'm the author of PDFlib which is a GhostScript wrapper for php, advantage of using this library is, it is already tested and it does not require ImageMagic

Always GhostScript commands are faster than ImageMagic when it comes to pdf so you should either go for a GhostScript wrapper or pure GhostScript commands

$pdflib = new ImalH\PDFLib\PDFLib();
$pdflib->setPdfPath($pdf_file_path);
$pdflib->setOutputPath($folder_path_for_images);
$pdflib->convert();
