with this each of a pdf file page generates a new jpeg image. how i can get a single jpeg / png out of a pdf file

Answer 1

JPEG is not a multi-page image format (whereas for example TIFF is, or animated GIF).

• So what exactly do you want?
• “Tile” all the PDF pages into one huge JPEG?

If you want, for example, to tile the first 12 pages of the official ISO 3200_2008 PDF-1.7 specification in 4 columns and 3 rows (‘4×3’) with 2 pixels extra spacing between each of the pages), run this ImageMagick command:

montage \
   http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf[1-12] \
  -tile 4x3 -geometry +2+2 \
  -background white \
   tiled.png

It shouldn’t be a problem for you to translate that into your code.
