   {
     //Add the selected file to the converter
     converter.AddSourceFile(pdfFile);
                   
     //Convert any graphics to Image Files
     converter.GraphicsAsImages = true;
   
     //set the file type for the images
     converter.ImageType = ImageDocumentType.Jpeg;
   
     //Automatically detect page orientation and rotate if required
     converter.AutoRotate = true;
   
     //Convert the file
