Extracting whole page as image iTextPdf

Question

Is it possible to extract pages from an existing pdf file and save the whole page as an image through iTextPDF library.

for example if my pdf file contains 2 pages then 2 images will be generated and each image will be a snapshot of a particular page.

iText cannot be used for *rendering* PDF files. So the answer is no, it's not possible. — yms, Jul 13 '12 at 14:49
Image equivalent to as if you are taking the print screen of the pdf page — Deepak, Jul 13 '12 at 14:49

I used PDF-Renderer and jpedal api but the image resolution generated by these api was poor.

But I finally achieved this by PDFBox API. This api also has the ability to set the resolution of the image.
