Actually what i want is,
Convert PDF to PNG, so I found that my online server supports the imagemagic.
And now i can convert PDF to PNG without any problem.
But now only remaining problem is I can't convert PDF files that contain large amount of pages,
let's say i can convert a PDF with 50 pages, but i can't convert a PDF with 250 pages.
Only this matter i have left to solve,
so Please help me!!
Thank you!
To install softwares on remote machines you will need root access to that machine using SSH
To install SWFTools download the source from here http://www.swftools.org/sw
, extract the tar and then run these commands
./configure
make
make install
there is also a `INSTALL` file included in the tar file for reference
i m not sure if SWFtools will help as the problem is related to memory consumption and not with the software.
And also SWFTools support only
png2swf, gif2swf, jpeg2swf, pdf2swf, font2swf, avi2swf
There is no support for pdf2jpeg
Thank you for your reply babuno5,
Yes there's no way to convert pdf to jpg, but if it can convert pdf to swf,
that's super fine. i needed that as the end result.
But now my matter is how to install swftools in linux surver.
it's works well on my apache sever in windows.
but when i put them online, i have to put them on a linux server.
that's why i need to install it on that remote linux server.
so i will try with your way that you explained.
Thank you very much.
