PDF to JPG converter using Java swing

By Jeetendra Kumar

With this application, you can easily convert PDF files to JPG format. It utilizes Java Swing and the Apache PDFBox library for smooth and efficient conversion.

This application converts PDF files into JPG files using Java Swing and the Apache PDFBox library. When we run this application, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is shown with a "Browse Pdf" button and also shows in the status label that "Select a PDF file to convert" for the user to select a PDF file from their local storage system.

After the PDF file is selected, the code uses the Apache PDFBox library to load the PDF and make JPG images of each page of the PDF file then save them in the same directory as the original PDF file.

This application provides feedback on the conversion progress through a status label. If the conversion is successful, the status label displays a message that shows the "Successfully Converted PDF to Image, Image saved to " and the output directory where the JPG images are saved. Any errors that occur during the conversion process are also displayed on the status label i.e. "Error! Fail to convert PDF to image ".

The main components of this application include the PdfToImage class, which extends JFrame to set up the GUI, the initializeUI() method, which creates the main panel, Browse PDF button, and status label, and the convertPdfToImage(File pdfFile) method, which handles the conversion process.

This application offers a user-friendly interface for converting PDF files into JPG files. The use of Java Swing ensures a platform-independent GUI and the Apache PDFBox library effectively handles PDF processing.
