PDF to Images

😫 The Pain Point

You designed a menu in Illustrator and saved it as PDF. You want to post it on Facebook, but Facebook only accepts images (JPG). Taking a screenshot of the PDF makes it blurry.

🧠 Prompt Decoding

• Poppler: pdf2image is just a wrapper around the poppler tool. If the user doesn’t have poppler installed on their system path, this will fail. The prompt alerts the engineer to this dependency.

🛠️ Instructions

1. Install Poppler.
2. Copy Prompt -> Paste -> Run.
3. Select PDF -> Convert.
