Using Imagemagick with CI for file conversion - El Forum - 10-30-2009
[eluser]Wittner[/eluser]
Hi,
my current app has a need to create jpeg files from pdf files so that as an option, results from my app can be imported into an image document database. Anyhow, I was delighted to see some in-built support in CI for Imagemagick, but it only seems to support a subset of the functionality.
Is there any way to use some of the other functions available? For instance, with Imagemagick I can run a simple command to convert from one graphic type to another. Is all the functionality within CI?
would appreciate any help or pointers,
cheers,
Wittner

Thanks Stilly. The very very first thing I did was to read the user guide before I posted this question. However:
"can run a simple command to convert from one graphic type to another?"
wasn't covered in the guide (unless I'm mistaken). Your link is a little vague. Can you tell me exactly where the user guide covers the question I asked? When I looked I couldn't see. As far as I could make out, the user guide covers:
* Image Resizing
* Thumbnail Creation
* Image Cropping
* Image Rotating
* Image Watermarking
but not image converson as mentioned in my post. If you know where the answer is in the guide I'd be indebted,
cheers,
Wittner

There is only that what is described in the User Guide.
If you want any other functionality you could extend the image library.
Maybe a newer version with extended functionality exists in the svn repository?

Cheers rogierb,
I'll be looking at this issue again in the new year. For the moment I'm busy building the rest of the app,
thanks,
Wittner

I have the same problem and am trying taking a php class that does what you want, pdf to jpegs, and adapting it to become a CI Library inside my app. You might want to look at the class i found via a google search: digiBook.php - PDF to JPG (Flip book) - PHP Classes.
I have also been looking at the source code for the pdf online viewer, psview, which also does pdf conversion using imagemagick and ghostscript.

Hmmm... I am about to start a project that extensively uses ImageMagick advanced functions via php's imagick but was looking for a php framework to use with it. I'm a little confused with this post. Does CI not allow the use of the full set of IM functions loaded on my server? I've never used CI before :/
