We used xpdf to generate jpgs / text of all our pdf files - that's opensource.

Unfortunately this is command line too, so might not be any good to you, but it might be easier to generate thumbs for your PDF "statically" if you are re-using the same PDF's each time?

I need to pull in a PDF and be able to show thumbnails of the larger graphics

They check off a couple and those are then saved as PNG or JPG files.

I am ok on saving graphics as PNG/JPG (given a bitmap) and doing the UI piece, 
but can’t seem to find anything on how to manipulate the PDF to pull the 
bitmaps.

Is there anything available short of Acrobat-SDK, and that is AS3-based?


There are a few utilities to do this*, but nothing code-based to glean from.

*Existing tools:
   a-pdf.com
   verypdf.com
   sobolsoft.com
   somepdf.com
   dawningsoft.com

I have contacted them; but they only offer command-line, no-source, 
alternatives.

Thanks
