I have created a sample application which converts pdf to images. I want to install this application as a “Document Converter” ino Sharepoint 2010. I want to know the steps to convert my application as a document converter and deploy it as a feature and then access it from my Sharepoint web application

using SharePoint Object Model. How can I call a custom document converter from my Sharepoint web application using Sharepoint Object Model. How can I pass the document(pdf file in the document library to be converted into image) as a parameter to document converter from my Sgarepoint web application using Sharepoint Object model.
