Problem I need to provide PDF files on my site and additionally I want to show preview of these PDF files using simple images becuase of embedding PDF into page is not so easy, convenient and functional as embedding images.
Solution I need to do following:
- Take screenshot of any separate page specified (most important)
- Take one vertically long screenshot with all pages taking into account page breaks (now
/chromium/screenshotwithoptions.emulateMediaType:"print"andoptions.fullPage:truedoesn't take into account page breaks)
I think it is good to add new option to /chromium/screenshot to behave like PDF and additionally add options.pageRanges option which will work same as in /chromium/pdf.
Alternatives
Generate PDF using /chromium/pdf and use another tools to convert PDF to separate images.
