Simply convert PDF files into rendered image pages at high resolution.

This project was inspired by and serves as a Python alternative to the PHP package [spatie/pdf-to-image](https://github.com/spatie/pdf-to-image).

## System Overview

```mermaid

    A[PDF Input] --> B{Process Type}

    B -->|Single| C[single_page.py]

    B -->|Batch| D[all_page.py]

    C --> E[First Page Export]

    D --> F[Full Document Export]

    E --> G[Output Folder]

    F --> G

```
