== Description

PDFToImage is a ruby gem which allows for conversion of a PDF document into 
images. It uses poppler_utils to first convert the document to PNG and then
allows usage of ImageMagick to convert the image into other formats.

The reasoning behind using poppler_utils is due to the fact that ghostscript
occasionally has trouble with certain PDF documents which poppler_utils seems
to be able to parse without error.

== Examples

  require 'pdftoimage'
  images = PDFToImage.open('somefile.pdf')
  images.each do |img|
    img.resize('50%').save("output/page-#{img.page}.jpg")
  end

  require 'pdftoimage'
  PDFToImage.open('anotherpdf.pdf') do |page|
    page.resize('150').quality('80%').save('out/thumbnail-#{page.page}.jpg")
  end

== Requirements

poppler_utils

ImageMagick
