Description:
I'd like to see support for generating thumbnail images from PDF files. Ideally,
the ability to select the page to make a thumbnail of (with page 1 being the
default) and the ability to rotate the resulting image (in multiples of 90
degrees).
Some syntax examples would be:
[[image:contract.pdf|thumb]] - Would generate a thumbnail of page 1 of the pdf
at the default size
[[image:contract.pdf|thumb|page=4]] - Would generate a thumbnail of page 4 of
the pdf at the default size
[[image:contract.pdf|thumb|rotate=90]] - Would generate a thumbnail of page 1 of
the pdf with a rotation of 90 degrees
Other image modifiers would be unchanged. Also, ImageMagick supports pdf
natively so the hard work is already done.
The reason for requesting rotation modifiers is that some versions of Adobe
Acrobat rotate pages via the PDF header and ImageMagick when generating a
thumbnail of those pages ignores the rotation. Arguably, this is an ImageMagick
bug, but the ability to rotate a thumbnail is available in ImageMagick, and
potentially usefull in non-pdf images as well.
