Is there anyway to generate a thumbnail image for the first page of an uploaded PDF file. I want to display this image along with the description (provided by the user) of the file.

A:
You can use an image processing library like ImageMagick to convert a PDF into an image.
Call out to the system with something like:
system("convert -size 150x150 /path/to/uploaded/document.pdf /path/to/thumbnail/file.png")
