Pdf/cbr to images convertion #3

Open khelonline opened 12 years ago

khelonline commented 12 years ago

Task: converting a pdf into array of images.

Why?: The feature we need overall is "A user uploads a pdf/cbr/ppt file and our system displays it on webpage for selecting regions out of it."

I thought that is possible if that pdf/cbr/cbz(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_book_archive)

file is converted into an array of images. which start appearing one by one from which user selects the region he wants to display.

Hence we need pdf/cbr/.. format to images convertor.

Also let me know if you have a better solution in mind.

and cbr and cbz are zipped formats.. contains everything inside in images... just need to be extracted ..that's it.
