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 thumb-
nails, 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.
