converting pdf pages to images using js

Question

How to export a PDF document into a series of individual images(jpeg, png or bmp format) using javascript or jquery?

Everything is possible... Though I think you'd have to code quite some to get this done. There is [pdf.js](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js) that would help. By the way, bext time [read the faq](http://stackoverflow.com/faq) about what questions are welcome here... — ppeterka, Jan 16 '13 at 08:53
it is not possible, in order to do it you need addition libraries, So this should be executed on server. JS does not allow this — Anton Baksheiev, Jan 16 '13 at 08:53
JS absolutely allows this; see the aforementioned `pdf.js`. the more interesting question is, _why_ do you want to do this in JS specifically? — Eevee, Jan 16 '13 at 09:00
The more interesting question is *how to do it* rather than *is that possible*. — rds, Jan 16 '13 at 14:19

I stand corrected, ppeterka is right. Look at this question and this answer where you see a pdf being renderd to canvas, so from there-on you indeed have a image.

That question seems to have asked for something different, judging by the accepted answer. – una_dinosauria Jul 28 '13 at 22:49
