Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello,

I've been using ImageMagick to convert pages in a PDF file to images.
I got it to work. The size of the PDF is 6MB and I got all 10 pages converted to 10 JPGs without any problem.

However when I tried to convert the bigger PDF which is 22 MB (100 pages), I got no luck at all. No image generated.
I have config php.ini so the maximum execution time is definitely enough to execute the script ( I think i set it to 20 mins or something ) but still no luck.
also config the max upload file to 100 MB but still no luck.
Let say that I have all maximum limitations in the php.ini extended to the definitely enough amount.

Please advice what should I do to be able to convert large PDF file to images.

Regards,

Kawin

The problem might be memory or temporary file space. What resolution are you using? Calculate the total number of pixels, then 6 bytes per pixel.

If you can put the file somewhere (eg Dropbox)and post the URL here, someone might take a look.

Or you can convert page by page, eg

You could try "pdfsplit" from SourceForge to split your PDF into separate pages,
then process the pages one at a time with ImageMagick. I haven't used
pdfsplit myself, but it looks like what you need.

Thanks a lot everyone. I will give both advises a try and let you guys know if they works.
Thank you.
