The above code would generate a thumbnail from the first page of “your.pdf”, sized 200 pixels wide by an appropriately-proportioned height. To get started, you will need to download the FPDF class from the FPDF Web site and include it in your PHP script like this: require ('fpdf.php') Below is an example of how. Invoking the above code is done fairly easily simply call the PHP script from inside an image tag, like so: Finally, it reloads the thumbnail into an ImageMagick PHP object, and outputs the content to the browser. The above code assumes that you’ve provided appropriate permissions to the temporary directory (usually chmod 755 or chmod 777, depending on your level of courage), that you’ve saved the above code snippet in a file called thumbPdf.php, and placed this somewhere visible on your web server.Īfter obtaining parameters from GET, the code checks the destination temporary directory, and if the desired image is not present, it uses ImageMagick’s convert program to generate the PDF thumbnail, sized down to the appropriate proportion, and saves the image in the temporary directory.
After installing ImageMagick, ImageMagick PHP bindings (which incidentally aren’t working, and a workaround was devised), and sleuthing some code, the following solution was determined: getFormat()) The requirement was fairly simple, but the execution was a little more involved. One of our more recent clients made a request to display PDF thumbnails published through the Joomla CMS that we’d deployed for them. In this article, we discuss using PHP and ImageMagick to generate thumbnails from a given PDF, storing them in a temporary (or “cache”) directory, and serving them up to the web.
