Android Code Snippet [B4X] [B4Xpages] PDF to Image (B4XBitmap)

I often needed to turn a PDF into an image, most of the time to have it printed on a thermal printer.
I was looking for simple and cross-platform methods.

This is an example that allows you to get an image with Windows / Android / iOs from a PDF file


NB. For Windows it is necessary to download a Jar, while for Android a library as indicated below. For iOs it does not require extra libraries

Hey there, I`m looking to create a 'snapshot' of a PDF in my app (Android/iOS)...am I right to think your code does not cover B4i?

hi,
am I right to think you didn't read the post describing exactly what platforms the code works on?
