Hi Robin,

Share Extras has something that can get you close the functionality you need: http://code.google.com/p/share-extras/wiki/ExecuteScriptAction

It creates a new document library action which allows you execute a script (just like in Explorer). So you could potentially write a script which does the transformation, which your user could select on a document.

Either that or you could create your own Custom Action. It's a lot easier to do in Share and Jeff Potts does a great guide on how to do it: http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2012/01/23/1519

Good luck,
ben.

Old thread, but I do have useful idea to share. I'm involved in a c# windows application, need the function of pdf to image conversion. Then, I found one solution and got ideas from: http://www.pqscan.com/pdf-to-image/
