How to convert PDF page to Bitmap image using C#.NET

The following steps and sample c# code will show how to quickly convert a PDF page to BMP image.

1. Create a new PDFDocument with an existing PDF file loaded
2. Create a new PDFPage object from the first page of the PDF document
3. Call PDFPage.ConvertToImage() to convert PDF page to a bitmap (.bmp) file

            String inputFilePath = @"W:\Projects\Test-Files\file1.pdf";
            String outputFilePath = @"W:\Projects\Test-Output\RasterEdge.com\pdf-convert-pdf-to-bmp-start.bmp";

            //  Open file and get the target page
            PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);

            PDFPage page = (PDFPage)doc.GetPage(0);
            //  Convert page to a .BMP image
            page.ConvertToImage(ImageType.BMP, outputFilePath);

PDF to Bitmap Image Options Using C#

In your C# code, you can utilize class "ImageOutputOption" to apply the converted bmp image options.

1. Color: Output Bitmap image color is Monochrome, Gray, Color.


2. Zoom: Set zoom value to 2F. Use more pixels to render a PDF page to bitmap.


3. Resolution: Set bitmap image resolution value in the BMP file.

            String inputFilePath = @"W:\Projects\Test-Files\file1.pdf";
            String outputFilePath = @"W:\Projects\Test-Output\RasterEdge.com\pdf-convert-pdf-to-bmp.bmp";

            ImageOutputOption options = new ImageOutputOption();
            options.Type = ImageType.BMP;

            //  Output image is Monochrome, Gray, Color.
            options.Color = ColorType.Gray;
            //  Set zoom value to 2F. Use more pixels to render the PDF page.
            options.Zoom = 2F;
            //  Set resolution value in the Bitmap file to 300 dpi.
            options.Resolution = 300;

            //  Open file and get the target page
            PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
            PDFPage page = (PDFPage)doc.GetPage(0);

            //  Convert page to a Bitmap (.bmp) image
            page.ConvertToImage(options, outputFilePath);

How to preview PDF in bitmap image using C# .NET

To preview PDF as bitmap image, you need follow the steps below and C# source code.

1. In ImageOutputOption, set image type as ImageType.BMP. Set image color as ColorType.Color
2. Set image Zoom to 0.25F. You need preview the first page of PDF in a smaller area.
3. Set image Resolution to 300. To improve the preview image quality, you need bitmap image with larger resolution.
4. Get the first page of PDF file
5. Convert the PDF page to the bitmap image file

            String inputFilePath = @"W:\Projects\Test-Files\file1.pdf";
            String outputFilePath = @"W:\Projects\Test-Output\RasterEdge.com\pdf-convert-pdf-to-bmp-preview.bmp";

            ImageOutputOption options = new ImageOutputOption();
            options.Type = ImageType.BMP;

            //  Output image is Monochrome, Gray, Color.
            options.Color = ColorType.Color;
            //  Set zoom value to 2F. Use less pixel and smaller area to render the first page of PDF
            options.Zoom = 0.25F;
            //  Set resolution value in the bitmap file to 300 dpi.
            options.Resolution = 300;

            //  Open file and get the target page
            PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
            PDFPage page = (PDFPage)doc.GetPage(0);

            //  Convert page to a Bitmap (.bmp) image
            page.ConvertToImage(options, outputFilePath);
