Re: Generating Thumbnails of file contents
Thanks all for the replies. You responses confirmed that there is unfortunately no simple solution to this. I appreciate the suggestions and see if I can get the client to go with any of them.

Re: Generating Thumbnails of file contents
Wouldn't a thumbnail of an Excel sheet be pretty useless? It would just be super tiny bits of text in rows. A powerpoint I could see though - like the first slide.

Re: Generating Thumbnails of file contents
Btw - you can use cfpresentation to convert ppt to html. You could then use cfdocument to make a pdf from it and get the thumbnail. It won't be zippy, but it would get the job done.
