PDF thumbnail

Post by sleroux »

When i try to create a thumbnail of http://repositorio.ul.pt/bitstream/1045 ... 086281.pdf (convert doc.pdf[0] thumb.png ), the thumbnail is not correct (i get a PNG with the half left white, and the half right with the thumbnail). Any solution?

No luck. The command didn't change the thumbnail.
Image
Notes:
1 - The pdf is not A4
2 - Thumbnails of other pages than the first one are created correctly.

I cannot download your pdf to test. It cannot find the server.

Your file has many pages and they are not all the same size. Especially the first page is padded with lots of white, but has a bounding box.

I tried adding -strip, but that did not help. So I do not know how to get rid of the bounding box, nor if that is the real issue.

Perhaps you need to be more careful in creating the PDF file to avoid the padding

Re: PDF thumbnail

Post by sleroux »

The pdf was not created by me. I'm working on a content agregator (OAI repositories) and one of the feature is the creation of thumbnails of documents ( i use im4java to generate the thumbnail, but the error is the same as with the command line). 99% of the thumbnails i create are OK. But they are some documents that are "strange". For example, the one i put the link, or PDF documents with errors (the adobe reader opens the document, but when i use image magick i get some warnings and the thumbnail generated is empty.
The problems are the documents... I was trying to verify if somebody had similar problems, to find a possible workaround. Thanks.
