Hi!

We receive a 2-page pdf invoice by email from UPS each week. I need to convert that to two jpg files. I need to do this programmatically, not by physically opening the file and doing a 'save as'.

Can I execute Acrobat 6 from some kind of command line prompt and tell it to open the file and save it as a jpg? That is, from within vb.net, can I just execute this command?

Or, is there a way to read in the pdf and save it as a jpg from within VB.Net?

I've seen several converter programs out there, and they all cost $50 or over. I can't afford that, so I'm trying to do it myself. But, if you know of a free pdf to jpg converter program that I can use programmatically, that would be great too.

My guess is that someone out there is doing this, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Karen
