[edit] What can this extension do?

Creates thumbnails for PDFs just using ImageMagick just as done for DJVU.

This plugin is effectively the DJVU thumbnailer repackaged as an extension for PDFs.

[edit] Installation

To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:

require_once("$IP/extensions/PDFThumbnails.php");

The default thumbnail type is jpg. If you wish to use ‘png’ or ‘gif’ replace ‘jpg’ in $wgPDFThumbType and $wgPDFConverters.

[edit] Configuration parameters

$wgMediaHandlers['application/pdf'] = 'PdfHandler';
$wgPDFThumbType = array('jpg', 'image/jpg');
$wgPDFConverter = 'ImageMagick';
$wgPDFConverterPath = '';
$wgPDFMaxSize = 2048;
$wgPDFConverters = array('ImageMagick' => '$path/convert -background white -thumbnail $widthx$height\! $input[$page] JPG:$output');
$wgPDFDPI = 300;
