I'm expanding on the accpeted answer and providing a complete solution.
Using this library: android-pdfview and the following code, you can reliably convert the PDF pages into images (JPG, PNG):
DecodeServiceBase decodeService = new DecodeServiceBase(new PdfContext());
decodeService.setContentResolver(mContext.getContentResolver());
// a bit long running
decodeService.open(Uri.fromFile(pdf));
int pageCount = decodeService.getPageCount();
for (int i = 0; i < pageCount; i++) {
PdfPage page = decodeService.getPage(i);
RectF rectF = new RectF(0, 0, 1, 1);
// do a fit center to 1920x1080
double scaleBy = Math.min(AndroidUtils.PHOTO_WIDTH_PIXELS / (double) page.getWidth(), //
AndroidUtils.PHOTO_HEIGHT_PIXELS / (double) page.getHeight());
int with = (int) (page.getWidth() * scaleBy);
int height = (int) (page.getHeight() * scaleBy);
// you can change these values as you to zoom in/out
// and even distort (scale without maintaining the aspect ratio)
// the resulting images
// Long running
Bitmap bitmap = page.renderBitmap(with, height, rectF);
try {
File outputFile = new File(mOutputDir, System.currentTimeMillis() + FileUtils.DOT_JPEG);
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
// a bit long running
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outputStream);
outputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
LogWrapper.fatalError(e);
}
}
You should do this work in the background i.e. by using an AsyncTask
or something similar as quite a few methods take computation or IO time (I have marked them in comments).
