Quickly Convert PDF Documents To Images In Linux Mint

Often, it may be useful to convert certain types of PDF files like short manuals or documents to an image file.

Here is a simple way to do this from Linux Mint command line :

First, open Terminal and install ImageMagick which is a set of tools for editing, resizing or converting images:

[cc lang=”bash”]

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

[/cc]

After it is installed, simply use the “convert” command (part of ImageMagick) to convert the PDF file to an image file like JPG or PNG:

[cc lang=”bash”]

convert filename.pdf filename.jpg

[/cc]

This will convert every page of the PDF file to an image file.

All of this just by typing a few commands. 🙂

Happy converting.
