Use Ghostscript from C#

[Sjaakie]

Hello,
Can someone tell me if it is possible to use Ghostscript from C#?
I would like to create thumbnails from several PDFs.

TIA

You can always invoke the gs.exe process, I suppose.

Already thought of that, but I'd like to put the PDF-to-JPG result
directly into an Image object in order to customize the output.

If there's no other solution that using gs.exe and reading the created
file from disk, I'll try your solution.

cheers

I use GS quite a lot for presentations and the only way I've found is to
start a process with the correct command line and then load the image again
later. To save on having to store a million images use the GetTempFileneme
method and delete it after you load it via a stream.

Ok, thanks, I'll proceed with that method then.
