I have an msword document that consists of some pages, i need convert only the first page to image and save it. Each page can consist of images, tables, text, etc. But i can't use clipboard buffer or any commercial software.
May be anybody know some other ways ?
You can turn on the "Generate thumbnail for Document" option and word will generate an image for you (that Windows 7 uses to show the large icon view of the document.
In word 2010, click File-Info
then the Properties Drop down Then Advanced properties Then Summary tab and finally SHOW PREVIEW PICTURE
And what's worse, you can't automate it! Ugh, Something about a security risk.
When you do that, there will be an extra WMF file embedded within the DOCX that you can extract.
Print your first page to the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer.
It will give you a TIFF image.
EDIT
Alternatively, print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer and then convert XPS to an image.
