How to convert a PDF page to an image in Android?

Question

All I need to do is take a (locally saved) PDF-document and convert one or all of it\'s pages to image format like JPG or PNG.

Answer 1

Using Android default libraries like AppCompat, you can convert all the PDF pages into images. This way is very fast and optimized. The below code is for getting separate images of a PDF page. It is very fast and quick.

I have implemented like below:

ParcelFileDescriptor fileDescriptor = ParcelFileDescriptor.open(new File("pdfFilePath.pdf"), MODE_READ_ONLY);
    PdfRenderer renderer = new PdfRenderer(fileDescriptor);
    final int pageCount = renderer.getPageCount();
    for (int i = 0; i < pageCount; i++) {
        PdfRenderer.Page page = renderer.openPage(i);
        Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(page.getWidth(), page.getHeight(),Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
        canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
        canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, null);
        page.render(bitmap, null, null, PdfRenderer.Page.RENDER_MODE_FOR_DISPLAY);
        page.close();

        if (bitmap == null)
            return null;

        if (bitmapIsBlankOrWhite(bitmap))
            return null;

        String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
        File file = new File(root + filename + ".png");

        if (file.exists()) file.delete();
        try {
            FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
            bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
            Log.v("Saved Image - ", file.getAbsolutePath());
            out.flush();
            out.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

=======================================================

private static boolean bitmapIsBlankOrWhite(Bitmap bitmap) {
    if (bitmap == null)
        return true;

    int w = bitmap.getWidth();
    int h = bitmap.getHeight();
    for (int i =  0; i < w; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < h; j++) {
            int pixel =  bitmap.getPixel(i, j);
            if (pixel != Color.WHITE) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}

I have already posted it in another question :P

Finally I found very simple solution to this, Download library from here.

Use below code to get images from PDF:

import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.RectF;
import android.net.Uri;

import android.provider.MediaStore;

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;

You can view converted images in Gallery or in SD card. Please let me know if you need any help.
