How to convert a PDF to image format (jpeg, png,...) using my C program?

Question

I'm working with Visual Studio and OpenCV for image processing, but all my documents are PDF so I need to convert them to image format so I can compatibilize them with OpenCV

This is my code to open a image:

enter image description here

Is there any way to modify it to open and read PDF's as an image?

Many thanks!

Pleas don't post images of text, or links to images of text. Post the text. — molbdnilo, Apr 02 '17 at 13:37
Please don't tag a question as C if you're using C++. They're different languages. — Cornstalks, Apr 02 '17 at 14:19
Also, please don't use the [visual-studio] tag unless you have a question about the tool itself. — EJoshuaS - Stand with Ukraine, Apr 02 '17 at 18:25

You may want to take a look at ImageMagick. The CLI tool is able to convert PDF to images and I believe they provide C libraries too.

Yes I tried, I have downloaded the program but I don't know how to insert the files in Visual Studio and what code I do have to write – Jessica Garre Morales Apr 02 '17 at 19:33
