Create png from only first page of pdf file

[michelle]

Hi there, I am using the below command to create png images from pdf documents. I am only ever interested in the first page of the pdf document. That is, I only ever want a png of the first page of any pdf document. In my collection of pdf documents the number of pages range from 1 onwards. Is there a way to modify the below command to include saying "only convert the first page into a png, ignore the rest" ?

convert -density 300 input.pdf -scale 400000 output.png

Thank-you in advance, Michelle

Try:

Code: Select all

convert -density 300 input.pdf[0] -scale 400000 output.png

I think that the count starts from 0 and not 1
