DESCRIPTION

12       thumbpdf  is used to create thumbnail images of individual pages within
13       a PDF (Portable Document Format) document.
14

USAGE

16       First run pdftex(1) on your document to create a PDF  file.   Then  run
17       thumbpdf  to  generate the thumbnails, a PDF file containing the thumb‐
18       nails, and a pdfTeX file to include the thumbnails  in  the  PDF  file.
19       Finally, run pdftex(1) on your file again to create the final PDF file.

21       thumbpdf  calls  gs(1)  to  generate  PNG  images  of  the pages within
22       PDF_FILE, and pdftex(1) to create a PDF file containing  the  thumbnail
23       images.
