Code to Convert PDF to GIF Format using Java

This code demonstrates how to turn PDF into GIF. If you don’t want to control each page separately, you may try the PdfConverter class from the com.aspose.pdf.facades package that handles the iteration itself, however this feature is available for BMP, JPEG, PNG and TIFF. The GifDevice gives a lower level API for the conversion to GIF where each page is processed independently based upon some condition.
