Converting XPS to Bitmap

One thing I had to do recently, for a SSRS report, was attach a 3 page pdf to a notice that is mailed out. Since, I can't just attach a pdf directly to the report, I figured I'll just take the images.

So, first thing I did was print the pdf to a XPS file. Now I just need to take that XPS file and convert it to some type of usable image that SSRS can recognize.

Found a solution on one of the MSDN message boards; however, I had to make some updates to it:

Code Snippet

1. static public void SaveXpsPageToBitmap(string xpsFileName)
2. {
3.     DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(xpsFileName);
4.     XpsDocument xpsDoc = new XpsDocument(xpsFileName, System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
5.     FixedDocumentSequence docSeq = xpsDoc.GetFixedDocumentSequence();
6.  
7.     //DocumentReferenceCollection drc = docSeq.References;
8.     for (int i = 0; i < docSeq.DocumentPaginator.PageCount; i++)
9.     {
10.         DocumentPage docPage = docSeq.DocumentPaginator.GetPage(i);
11.         BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();
12.         RenderTargetBitmap renderTarget = new RenderTargetBitmap((int)docPage.Size.Width, (int)docPage.Size.Height, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Default);
13.     
14.         renderTarget.Render(docPage.Visual);
15.  
16.         BitmapEncoder encoder = new BmpBitmapEncoder();
17.         encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(renderTarget));
18.  
19.         FileStream pageOutStream = new FileStream(di.FullName.Substring(0,di.FullName.Length - 4) + "_Page_" + (i+1).ToString() + ".bmp", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
20.         encoder.Save(pageOutStream);
21.         pageOutStream.Close();
22.     }
23. }

So this program works nicely, only problem I currently have is that I have to convert these large size bitmaps (~5MB per page) to something more reasonable. Especially, since the SSRS deployment gives me a SOAP error because of the size. I'll probably just end up converting them to Jpeg later on.
