PDFThumb plugin for Craft CMS 3.x
=================================

PDF thumbnail generation for Craft CMS 3

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The `craft.PDFThumb.thumbnail()` template tag returns a URL to the generated thumbnail.

```
{% for myAsset in item.assetRef %}

{% endfor %}

```

Heavily based on

PThumb
======

[](#pthumb)

PThumb is a Craft plugin that generates thumbnail preview images for PDF documents. It's easy to drop into your templates, requires only the commmand-line version of ImageMagick (not the PHP bindings), and caches the generated thumbnails.

It's still very much a work in progress, so use it in production environments at your own risk.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Download the ZIP file
2. Unzip it and move the `pthumb` folder to `craft/plugins`
3. Install the plugin from the **Plugins** page of your control panel
4. Click on the **PThumb** link on the plugins page to configure the plugin

Configuration
-------------
