There are various ways to convert a PDF file to an image using React, but here is one approach using the PDF.js library:
npm install pdfjs-dist
import PDFJS from 'pdfjs-dist';
const convertToImage = (pdfFile) => {
PDFJS.getDocument(pdfFile).promise.then((pdf) => {
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
const context = canvas.getContext('2d');
const pageNumber = 1;
pdf.getPage(pageNumber).then((page) => {
const viewport = page.getViewport({ scale: 1 });
canvas.width = viewport.width;
canvas.height = viewport.height;
const renderContext = {
canvasContext: context,
viewport: viewport,
};
page.render(renderContext).promise.then(() => {
const imageDataURL = canvas.toDataURL();
// Use imageDataURL as the image source or save it to a file
});
});
});
};
const pdfFile = '/path/to/pdf/file.pdf';
convertToImage(pdfFile);
Note: This code only converts the first page of the PDF file. To convert multiple pages, you would need to loop through all the pages and combine the images into a single file.
