Is it possible to generate a preview image for a pdf from the first page?

Question

JavaScript

Hello!
Is it possible to generate a preview image from the first page of a pdf?
Are there any js libraries that can help with this task?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I managed to find a cool script pdfThumbnails.js .
You also need to include pdf.js (pdf.js and pdf.worker.js)
And that's it.
Just write something like this and the script displays the first page of the pdf file as a preview image:

<img data-pdf-thumbnail-file="/assets/news/pdf/teambuilding_210821.pdf" />
