FilePreview::addHandler('application/pdf', function ($preview, $file) {
    /** @var \mykemeynell\FilePreview\FilePreview $preview */
    /** @var \mykemeynell\FilePreview\FileSystem\File $file */

    // $content = ...=

    $preview->setContentTypeHeader('image/jpg');
    $preview->setContent($content);

    return $preview;
});
