[Original thread](https://web.archive.org/web/20111014232753/http://support.transloadit.com/discussions/questions/71-thumbnailing-pdfs) Is it possible to create a thumb for each page in a PDF document? I’ve been able to create a thumb using the /image/resize robot - but it just creates a single thumb of the first page. I’d like a thumb for each page. Thanks. ---

Hey Jim, thanks for getting in touch. Alas, this is currently not possible. We still need to figure out how we want pdf processing to work on our platform. ImageMagick does a lot of stuff out of the box with pdf documents. But in the future we will probably want a /pdf/convert robot or something else to handle more complex use cases as well. What is your timeline on this feature? Do you need it right away or is it not so critical? Kind regards, Tim ---

Thanks. Having the ability to create a thumbnail for each PDF page would be fantastic. I am working on a new product now that would require that capability, so I’d say it is semi-critical. I need to do video encoding too, so I’ll continue testing the service. Thanks again. ---

Alright, we’ll try hard to get pdfs supported soon! ---

Has there been any update on this? I’m looking for a way to create JPG/PNG images for each page of a PDF. Thanks. ---
