NAME

       thumbpdf - generate thumbnail images for a PDF file created with pdftex

SYNOPSIS

       thumbpdf [ OPTION... ]  PDF_FILE

DESCRIPTION

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

USAGE

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

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