Laravel 8 Convert PDF to Image Tutorial Example

Use the following steps to convert pdf to image in laravel 8 app:

Step 1: Install Laravel 8 App

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2: Installing Imagick PHP Extension And Configuration

Now in this step we will install imagick library in server using following command:

sudo apt install php-imagick

1	sudo apt install php-imagick

Now, run following command to check the list the version available from the Ubuntu repositories using the apt list command.

sudo apt list php-magick -a

1	sudo apt list php-magick -a

The -a flag tells apt to list all version of a package available from the repositories. The output will look similar to the following, and at the time of this writing, there was only a single version available.

php-imagick/bionic,now 3.4.3~rc2-2ubuntu4 amd64 [installed]

1	php-imagick/bionic,now 3.4.3~rc2-2ubuntu4 amd64 [installed]

After this you are required to restart Apache web server:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

1	sudo systemctl restart apache2

Verify Installation

Run the following command to verify the imagick library installation:

 php -m | grep imagick

1	php -m \| grep imagick

If the installation was successful, the output of the command will simply show one line, and it will only contain the name of the module imagick.

imagick

imagick

You can also verify installation with phpinfo() method. Or execute the following command

php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep imagick

1	php -r 'phpinfo();' \| grep imagick

Which will output the following information, where the modules status is shown as enabled.

/etc/php/7.3/cli/conf.d/20-imagick.ini,
imagick
imagick module => enabled
imagick module version => 3.4.4
imagick classes => Imagick, ImagickDraw, ImagickPixel, ImagickPixelIterator, ImagickKernel
imagick.locale_fix => 0 => 0
imagick.progress_monitor => 0 => 0
imagick.set_single_thread => 1 => 1
imagick.shutdown_sleep_count => 10 => 10
imagick.skip_version_check => 1 => 1

/etc/php/7.3/cli/conf.d/20-imagick.ini,

imagick

imagick module => enabled

imagick module version => 3.4.4

imagick classes => Imagick, ImagickDraw, ImagickPixel, ImagickPixelIterator, ImagickKernel

imagick.locale_fix => 0 => 0

imagick.progress_monitor => 0 => 0

imagick.set_single_thread => 1 => 1

imagick.shutdown_sleep_count => 10 => 10

imagick.skip_version_check => 1 => 1

Alternatively, by adding the phpinfo() function to a php script, and then accessing the script from a web browser. Now, you are able to see the module is installed and enabled.

After some authorization change in fowling the path

/etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

 < policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" / >

1	< policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" / >

To Convert

 < policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" / >

1	< policy domain="coder" rights="read\|write" pattern="PDF" / >

Step 3: Add Route

After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.

routes/web.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\MyController;

Route::get('pdf-to-image', [MyController::class, 'index'])->name('form');

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Controllers\MyController;

Route::get('pdf-to-image', [MyController::class, 'index'])->name('form');

Step 3: Create Controller

Now, lets create a controller named MyController using command given below –

php artisan make:controller MyController

1	php artisan make:controller MyController

And put the following code into it:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Imagick;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;

class MyController extends Controller
{   
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $imagick = new Imagick();

        $imagick->readImage(public_path('dummy.pdf'));

        $imagick->writeImages('converted.jpg', true);

        dd("done");
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Imagick;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;

class MyController extends Controller

{

/**

* Write code on Method

* @return response()

public function index()

{

$imagick = new Imagick();

$imagick->readImage(public_path('dummy.pdf'));

$imagick->writeImages('converted.jpg', true);

dd("done");

}

Run Development Server

Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve

Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –

http://localhost:8000/pdf-to-image

1	http://localhost:8000/pdf-to-image
