  1. First use below expression to read all pdf files from specified folder.

    arrPdfFiles = Directory.GetFiles("Folder Path","*.pdf")

  2. And then use For Each loop to iterate one by one pdf file.

             For Each item in arrPdfFiles
             Use Export PDF page as image and pass item to it

Thank you @lakshman Really appreciate your help.
Yes its a good question. I have lots of pdfs and the information is spread across different pages in different pdfs. Mostly it comes from page1 or page 3.

Can you please share the workflow if possible so that i can replicate?

Thanks,

Certainly! To convert specific pages from multiple PDFs into images, you can use various tools and programming languages. One approach is to use a PDF library, such as PyPDF2 for Python, to extract specific pages from each PDF. Once you have the desired pages, you can use an image processing library, like Pillow (PIL), to convert them into images. Alternatively, there are online tools available where you can upload your PDFs, select the pages you want to convert, and download them as images. Depending on your familiarity with programming, you can choose the method that suits you best – whether it’s a custom script for more control or an online tool for simplicity. If you provide more details about your preferences or constraints, I can guide you further!

Moreover, you can utilize user-friendly online tools such as ilovepdf2.com or smallpdf.com for a swift and straightforward conversion. Be sure to refer to the documentation provided by your chosen solution for a detailed step-by-step guide on implementation.
