This is a nodejs module for converting pdf into image files.
This fork was made to change this library to be AWS Lambda friendly.
Original package can be found at https://github.com/fitraditya/node-pdf2img
Currently (07-03-2018) AWS Lambda has a preinstalled ghostscript v8.70 (ancient!). In order to make pdf to img conversion work you need a newer ghostscript version.
npm i pdf2img-lambda-friendly
Download the compiled version of Ghostscript from lambda-ghostscript.
Ghostscript executable must be accessible by following this path lambda-ghostscript/bin/./gs
var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
var pdf2img = require('pdf2img');
var input = __dirname + '/test.pdf';
pdf2img.setOptions({
type: 'png', // png or jpg, default jpg
density: 600, // default 600
outputdir: __dirname + path.sep + 'output', // output folder, default null (if null given, then it will create folder name same as file name)
outputname: 'test', // output file name, dafault null (if null given, then it will create image name same as input name)
});
pdf2img.convert(input, function(err, info) {
if (err) console.log(err)
else console.log(info);
});It will return array of splitted and converted image files.
