PDF's to PNG's on Windows 8

[Thierry Douez]

Hi Roger,

Sure, you can get it.

And about the bitmap resolution, yes, it works but again,
as I did this job a couple of years ago, I have to dig in this project
for the details, which I can't right now.

Please, contact me off-list for more info.

Kind regards,

Thierry
