make thumbnail for pdf file

hi
how can create thumbnail image file for PDF file by php
thanx

 

You can't.

Well I guess anything is possible but you'd need to render the PDF which is no small task.

 

i can
with imagick (php_imagick.dll) can convert pdf to jpeg
but i use xampp it make error

<?php
 
$im = new imagick('database.pdf[0]');
$im->setImageFormat( "jpg" );
header( "Content-Type: image/jpeg" );
echo $im;
?>

PHP:

error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ImagickException' with message 'Unable to read image' in D:\xamp\xampp\htdocs\thmubnail\pdf.php:3 Stack trace: #0 D:\xamp\xampp\htdocs\thmubnail\pdf.php(3): Imagick->__construct('database.pdf[0]') #1 {main} thrown in D:\xamp\xampp\htdocs\thmubnail\pdf.php on line 3

how can fix it ??

Dear,

I put you code in test.php file and put database.pdf u that folder.
I also uncomment php_imagic.dll in php.ini and restart the server.
Also GD2 in uncommented.

[php.ini]

;extension=php_fribidi.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_gettext.dll

;extension=php_iisfunc.dll
extension=php_imagick.dll
extension=php_imap.dll

when I egzecute you code I get message :
Fatal error: Class 'imagick' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\test.php on line 2
