how to take print of pdf and save as image in C# winform ?

You can try using the Virtual Printer in the LEADTOOLS SDK to save your images from the print dialog. This can be used to capture the print job, and then used to save the images. This supports a large variety of file formats. Here is code that you can use to get started.

LeadPrinter = new Printer(printerName);
LeadPrinter.EmfEvent += new EventHandler(LeadPrinter_EmfEvent);
LeadPrinter.JobEvent += new EventHandler(LeadPrinter_JobEvent);
DocumentWriter = new DocumentWriter();
static void LeadPrinter_EmfEvent(object sender, EmfEventArgs e)
{
Metafile metaFile = new Metafile(e.Stream);
DocumentWriterEmfPage documentPage = new DocumentWriterEmfPage
{
EmfHandle = metaFile.GetHenhmetafile()
};
DocumentWriter.AddPage(documentPage);
}
static void LeadPrinter_JobEvent(object sender, JobEventArgs e)
{
string printerName = e.PrinterName;
int jobID = e.JobID;
if (e.JobEventState == EventState.JobStart)
{
OutputFile = Path.Combine(@"C:\Temp", Path.ChangeExtension(Path.GetRandomFileName(), "pdf"));
DocumentWriter.BeginDocument(OutputFile, DocumentFormat.Pdf);
Console.WriteLine($"Job {jobID} for {printerName} was started");
}
else if (e.JobEventState == EventState.JobEnd)
{
DocumentWriter.EndDocument();
Console.WriteLine($"Job {jobID} for {printerName} was ended. PDF saved to {OutputFile}");
}
}
