How can I convert a PDF file into an image with Flutter?
I want to print the image to an ESC/POS printer using esc_pos_printer. This package won't accept PDFImage, it needs to be a Flutter Image.
I see plenty of PHP plugins that do this but nothing for Flutter.
edit: There is an answer to another question here which shows some code to decode an image from "pdf64" but I can't figure out exactly what "pdf64" is.
I created a PDF from html using flutter_html_to_pdflike this:
Directory appDocDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
var targetPath = appDocDir.path;
var generatedPdfFile = await FlutterHtmlToPdf.convertFromHtmlContent(
htmlContent, targetPath, targetFileName);
generatedPdfFilePath = generatedPdfFile.path;
Now I need to know how to create a Flutter Image from that PDF or the bytecode to send raw to the printer.

Step 1: Create a new directory in the root directory of the project and name it as "assets”. Added the PDF document inside the new directory as shown in the following image. Step 2: Add the PDF document in the assets section of pubspec. yaml file.
You can use https://pub.dev/packages/printing:
await for (var page in Printing.raster(document)) {
final image = page.asImage();
...
}
This plugin can also convert your Html to Pdf with this:
final pdf = await Printing.convertHtml(
format: PdfPageFormat.a4,
html: '<html><body><p>Hello!</p></body></html>',
));
