    Does anyone know of an easy way to convert a PDF file to PNG using PHP? If you can point me to just doing that, that would be a start. In the end, I am going to be wanting to add some opacity to the image.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Is it even at all possible to do that? They are two completely different file types!

    I think it is very possible to do it. You can create pdf files with php and you can also create images with php. So why not simply opening the pdf file running some code and storing the information into an image.

    Really not sure how to do it but I bet it is possible.
