Hello everyone and thanks for the help in advance. I need to develop an OCR application that takes inbound Pdf files and performs OCR on them. I have been utilizing Tesseract which seems to work well enough for the OCR portion, however I need an open source (free) method to convert these pages to high quality PNG files. I have done several searches on this, but am asking if someone has experience with doing this and the best practices for doing so. Any help would be appreciated.

According to the documentation, the minimum requirement is Windows 10. If you need an example running on Windows Server 2022, you should tag the issue accordingly.
