The solution begs the question – why convert a PDF document to a JPG image? The answer lies in the way we view PDF documents.
- PDF requires an external application like Adobe Acrobat Reader while JPG does not.
- Browsers have the built-in capability to display images while handling PDF documents requires an external application or plug-in which may or may not be present.
- An external application comes with the handicap of loading times. Plus the rendering of a PDF document happens only after the complete document is downloaded while images can be streamed in.
- Office applications also do a better job of handling images in comparison to PDF. To cite an example, a PowerPoint presentation with an embedded image goes faster than with a PDF document.
So, in some specific cases converting your PDF documents to an image format like JPG or JPEG could be the solution we are looking for.
