How to conver PDF to image programmatically using Acrobat SDK?

I would like to convert PDF to image programmatically using Acrobat SDK.
However, as far as I have read following documentation, I feel like I can't do it unless I use Adobe-PDF Library SDK.
https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF_library_XVIII_SDK_FAQ_ue.pdf

So I have some questions about that.
・Is Adobe-PDF Library SDK official products of Acrobat SDK?
・If not, is there any services to convert PDF to image programmatically provided from Acrobat SDK?

I would really appreciate it if you could respond to the questions above.
Thank you.

One more thing: there is ONE document describing both the Acrobat plugin API -and- the PDF Library API because they have a lot in common.

1. an Acrobat plugin can convert to image using the AVConversion methods. The documentation could be better, and there are no examples. 

2. The Adobe PDF library can also be used, by different methods. It is not part of the Acrobat SDK. Made by Adobe, Datalogics handle licensing. Price by negotiation, may include initial fee, annual fee and/or royalties. 

3. Licensing is an important concern. The Acrobat SDK is covered by the Acrobat license and has the same limits: interactive use only, no server use, no third party conversions, directly or indirectly. 

4. For quality and flexibility, Photoshop is a better converter than Acrobat.
