First off, I am a total Java greenhorn...Not even sure PDFBox can do what I need it to do.
What I am needing is for a client's web site to be able to create an image of the first page of a PDF document which I can then use as a thumbnail link on their site...I tried already to just ImageMagick but my hosting site does not have GhostScript installed, so the PDF libraries are not available to ImageMagick. So, first, can PDFBox generate the image file via code on my client's site? I don't want my client to have to install or run anything local to their computer, I want it all to be server side (which of course means I only have access to folders within my domain - as far as containing new files/code). Second, if possible, how do I do it? I am really green with Java and am much more comfortable with PHP and mySQL -- this is new to me but am willing to learn but cannot find enough (idiot) level documentation to help me out. Thanks in advance. Mark
