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.
