Hey guys I have a massive collection of PDF files for my company and most of them are proposals and what not. I'm building an intranet system and I would like to create a library of all these PDF files but I would also like to display a Thumbnail of the first few pages of each file.

Is there any library in any of these languages that I may be able to utilize to add to my project that can create those thumbnails?
I've tried the code:
<?php
$im = new imagick('file.pdf[0]');
$im->setImageFormat( "jpg" );
header( "Content-Type: image/jpeg" );
echo $im;
?>

works fine but the file name is part of an array and won't work with me replacing the file.pdf[0] with the array addres: $pdf[1]
