PDF to JPG Image Options in VB.NET Code

You can easily convert a single PDF file or mutliple PDF documents into Jpg images. The following Jpeg image options supported in VB class "ImageOutputOption":

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


2. JpegProgressive: If true, create Progressive JPEG image; If false, create Baseline JPEG.
   Baseline JPEG
   To encode image line by line from top to bottom. When opening a large baseline JPEG image through a very slow internet connection, the image would be renderred from top to bottom.
   
   Progressive JPEG: To encode image initially with full-size but low-quality pixellated. When opening a large baseline JPEG image through a very slow internet connection, the image would be renderred in full size looking pixelated at beginning, and then the quality becomes more and more clear.


3. JpegQualityLevel: Quality level, 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 (Highest Quality).


4. Zoom: Set zoom value to 2F. Use more pixels to render the page.


5. Resolution: Set image resolution value in the JPEG file.

Below are the steps and VB.NET sample source code to apply the converted JPEG image options programmatically using VB.NET.

1. Create a new ImageOutputOption object
2. Set image type as ImageType.JPEG
3. Set JPG image as a color image
4. Enable JpegProgressive to true
5. Set JPG image quality level to 80
6. Set PDF page zoom value to 2
7. Set JPG image resolution to 300 dpi

        Dim options As ImageOutputOption = New ImageOutputOption()
        ' Set output image type.
        options.Type = ImageType.JPEG
        ' Output image Is grayscale.
        options.Color = ColorType.Gray
        ' Progressive
        options.JpegProgressive = True
        ' Quality level, 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 (Highest Quality).
        options.JpegQualityLevel = 80
        ' Set zoom value to 2F. Use more pixels to render the page.
        options.Zoom = 2.0F
        ' Set resolution value in the JPEG file to 300 dpi.
        options.Resolution = 300

options.JpegQualityLevel = 80
' Set zoom value to 2F. Use more pixels to render the page.
options.Zoom = 2.0F
' Set resolution value in the JPEG file to 300 dpi.
options.Resolution = 300

' Open file and get the target page
Dim doc As PDFDocument = New PDFDocument(inputFilePath)
Dim page As PDFPage = doc.GetPage(0)
' Convert page to a JPEG image
page.ConvertToImage(options, outputFilePath)
