Is it possible to render individual PDF pages as PNG images?

Hello,

I've been looking through the samples and any documentation I can find, but I'm getting stuck. I'm trying to load an existing PDF, and save each page as a PNG image. Is this possible to do with the public API provided by PDFSharp 6.2? It seems like it should be, but maybe I'm just missing something 😅

Why do you think it should work? The FAQ clearly say No.

I wasn't asserting that the functionality exists, it just seemed like it might be possible because of all the System.Drawing imports and drawing logic that exists in the library.
