| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

|

*/

Route::get('convert-pdf-to-image', [DemoController::class, 'index']);

Step 3: Create Controller

in this step, we need to create DemoController and add following code on that file:

app/Http/Controllers/DemoController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Imagick;

class DemoController extends Controller

{

/**

* Write code on Method

*

* @return response()

*/

public function index()

{

$imagick = new Imagick();

$imagick->readImage(public_path('dummy.pdf'));

$saveImagePath = public_path('converted.jpg');

$imagick->writeImages($saveImagePath, true);

return response()->file($saveImagePath);
