> PDFToImage doesn't support colors, field contents and
> vertical text. 
> I know, that the PDFToImage is only a beta version.
> When do you plan to release a full version?

> Thanks for the bug report and the example PDF documents.
> Here are my thoughts on the unsupported parts of that PDF
> 1)colors should be easy to add, they do already work in 
> certain situations
> 2)Field contents should not be too bad either, just need to 
> execute that appearance stream
> 3)Vertical text might be a little more difficult
> A full version of PDFToImage is a huge amount of work.  I 
> am adding pieces as I can but it will be a long time before 
> a high quality version is available.
> Ben
