PDF Transform lets you transform a PDF stored in Assets, to an image. This can then be output via Twig in to a template.

A use case for this is to show the preview of a PDF before a user downloads that particular file.

Features

• Transform PDF's to images via Twig (The file needs to be an existing Asset element)
• PDF's are transformed when PDF's are uploaded to an image
• Transformed PDF images are indexed and available in Assets like all other asset files.

Templating

To transform a PDF to an image, and then output the URL use the following Twig tag:

{% set asset = entry.pdfAsset.one() %}
{{ craft.pdfTransform.url(asset) }}

If the transformed image doesn't exist then the PDF will be transformed via the template. This may cause the template/page to become slow whilst the PDF is transformed.

Be aware that this also may output a large image, so we'd recommend running this through an image transform.
