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.
