# Save Vector Content To JPEG

Reads vector content from the specified PDF file, rasterizes it, and saves it in JPEG format.

## Instruction

Gets content from the specified PDF file and saves it in JPEG format.

## Usings

```csharp
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs;
```

## Code Snippet

```csharp
using (var reader = new PdfReader("GraphicsContainer.pdf"))
using (var gc = reader.Frames[0].GetContent())
using (var writer = new JpegWriter("GraphicsContainer.jpg"))
using (var ig = new ImageGenerator(gc, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb, RgbColor.White))
{
    Pipeline.Run(ig + writer);
}
```

## Explanation

The following code:

- Loads a PDF file and retrieves the graphics content from the first frame.
- Uses `ImageGenerator` to render the content into a bitmap with 24bpp RGB pixel format and a white background.
- Saves the result as a JPEG image using `JpegWriter`.
