I'm sure there's more than one way to do it, but one way is to create an NSPDFImageRep. You can then get a CGImageRef from that, or on macOS, create an NSImage and set that as the layer contents. I forget to mention that I am developing an app for macOS. Sorry! So, being totally new to handling PDFs in my code, I would use something like PDFDocument *pdfDoc = [[PDFDocument alloc] initWithURL:url]; then something like imagePDFrep = [NSPDFImageRep imageRepWithData: pdfDoc]; then something like imageOfFirstPage = [ [NSImage init] addRepresentation: imagePDFrep]; ? Is that the general gist of it? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
