I already used pdfimages and it's working but when i tried to upload it on hosting, it's not working because exec, shell_exec, passthru and system function is disable. I can't enable it because it can hack my website.
I found a library called nusoap. I can extract image but it will only extract when images have effects like shadow, glow, reflection, etc.
Can anyone help me to find a library or code PHP to extract image from PDF? I start doing it one month ago and I'm still not finish on it. Sadlife.

I am scratching my head with this one, how can you get a screenshot or a thumbnail of a PDF? I am developing a social feed on a web server I have no control over, there is a PDF class but I cant narrow down what it is, and theres no function in there for this task.
To do this serverside, you could use ImageMagick. This allows PDF's to be converted into images on the server, not having to depend on the client's browser to have certain software.
You do need to be able to install ImageMagick on the server though.
A link to a guide can be found here
You can use google docs
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=bi&pagenumber=1&url=http://url-of-your-pdf.pdf
It returns a png of the first page, you can then edit it using Imagemagick or similiar
Idea from: How to create thumbnails/screenshots out of PDF files on my Linux server?
I want to convert pdf files to jpg without use of imagemagick and ghostscript, if anyone have an idea please help me.
Try using an online conversion service instead.
For example transloadit provides an API which can be used to extract images from PDF files (https://transloadit.com/docs/extracting-images-of-documents). They even provide ready development kits for PHP (https://transloadit.com/docs/development-kits#php-sdk).
Cloudinary could be an alternative as well.
If you instead what to work around the error with ghostscript open another question with detailes for that provided.

i build my website with yii framework
i want to try capture with ImageMagick
Any Body Help..
Thx
I am also using Yii framework to generate the image file. It is pretty simple and straight forward. I am using window XP/apache and php 5.4
Download and install the imagemagick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php
Download and install php extension for imagemagic http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
Download and install the ghostscript because image magic use the ghost script to convert the pdf to images http://www.ghostscript.com/download/
Write a method in your model class to handle conversion
use command : command format OR
use library : php manual
Call the method after your form submission.
check if the image is saved at the desired location. I hope that help. Let me know if you face any issue.
I know you asked about ImageMagick but maybe you could use GD instead to accomplish such simple operation.
It's available virtually on every hosting.
Examples in comments below docs.

How get frame from animate SWF to JPEG(or better animate GIF), using PHP. Possible using ffmpeg? Thanks.
This is not really possible without using a Windows box to open the file and capture a screenshot of the file. If you can convert the .swf to .flv then you can use ffmpeg to pull a frame, but if it is something like a game, well yea you are sort of out of luck unless you can setup (or are on) a Windows box.
I will try and find my code I used for windows to capture a screenshot, which worked in Windows 7 and XP and post it here, will have to wait till later as I do not have access to my backup files right now.

I need to include pdf files in some webpages, and I'm gettin' in troubles.
The app is a simple newspaper's archive, in which i can read right on page or download as pdf files, one file per page. What my customer can provide me is one pdf file for each page; what my customer wants from me is to navigate them in indexes (with page thumbnail) and have a read from a choosen one direcly in page; I'm using php/mysql.
I started trying out to use the <object> tag with type="application/pdf", but i found it's deprecate 'cause it's not crossplatform at all (there's no support on linux's browsers, but even my windows' firefox 3.5 couldn't show me anything).
I guessed I could transform that pdf in something different (html or simply images are good enough), but the only thing i found is ImageMagick, that I cannot use as I must install on server and I can't, as I'm not admin of that machine.
So, I'm finally looking for suggestions
Thanks
Display the pdf inline using an IFRAME. The thumbnail you can generate with imageMagik. You should be able to use the command line version of ImageMagik to resize and convert to jpg.
edit
Your best bet is to talk to the server admin and have them install php support for ImageMagik then you can use it as a class.
If you can't get support to install on the server, you will have to use the command line version.
You might be able to Google around for a library that wraps the command line, but it would be trivial to write it yourself.
With this in place you can create a large readable black and white png for each page. It should click through to the pdf.
