Hi,
1 - Which PDF component you are using?
2 - You have
pdfPage.CopyToClipboard(...)
function. Do you have other function in the PDF library that can copy it to other stream.. for example File stream or binary stream?
3 - with the above code where you have copied data to Clipboard you can extract data from clipboard

^] but you will need to specify format of data being extracted i.e. text/image etc.
After pdfPage.CopyToClipboard(...) function open paint brush i.e. MS Paint and press Ctrl + V and see if you are getting any image. if you are getting an image in MS Paint then saving data as image is very much possible but if you are not getting an image then probably the data cannot be covnerted to image.
Thanks,

Edit
I believe i've found solution. You are using Adobe's Acrobat SDK to copy data to clipboard and i was right that you can get data from clipboard.

Create thumbnail from Acrobat]
Read the above article it has exactly what you are looking for.
Call pdfPage.CopyToClipboard(pdfRect, 0, 0, 100)
Dim clipboardData As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
