Hello,

I am working on this task to convert some mostly used document formats like doc, xls, txt, pdf to the jpeg images. The idea here is to save the first page/part of the document as an image for some security reasons. Just like thumbnal view but bigger in size.

I came across many Virtual Printer Drivers, but we cant afford installing a driver as ours is a portable app running on USB.

Is there any open source library or tutorial which explains how to go for this. Or printer driver is the only way I can do it. I believe there should be some of doing this using DDK but i didn found any.

Thanks.
