Hello,

I want to write a program to show my PDF files online without acrobat reader, same as [books.google.com...]

anybody can help me how can I do this?

Well, I happen to know that ImageMagick can convert a PDF into a PNG or JPEG. From there it'd just be a matter of building a snazzy interface to display those images.

I think ImageMagick actually calls Ghostscript so you could always skip straight to that (although I think ImageMagick's additional functionality would be handy).

I had to install ghostscript and imagemagick for one of my servers and it was a huge pain to get it all working right, but it did eventually work. This was a couple years back, so it's probably easier now.
