How do i take a screenshot of a PDF using phantomjs and node?
I am new to phantomjs and node, so basically if i use the following code:
var webpage = require('webpage').create();
webpage.open('https://www.google.com/', function() {
webpage.render('pdflala.png');
phantom.exit();
});
I am able to get a screenshot of the webpage , but is there anyway that i can get a screenshot of a PDF using phantomjs ?
The below code if used to get a screenshot of a PDF will show a blank image.
var webpage = require('webpage').create();
webpage.open('https://www.link-assistant.com/pdf/SEO_in_2018.pdf', function() {
webpage.render('pdflala.png');
phantom.exit();
});

Phantomjs doesn't have a pdf rendering engine, it can save pages to pdf format, but it can't render pdf.
Your best bet is to use pdf.js, which has this capability, meaning that it can render the pdf to a HTML canvas.
You can then use phantomjs to take a screenshot of the canvas element.
