Dear all
are there any thoughts to create a plugin or tool that automatically generates article covers from PDFs (in the sense of thumbnails)?
Using the systematic paths to each PDF, let’s use php-gd
to either once iterating through all published PDFs to create a thumbnail of the first page of each PDF and store the info to the db.
Or generate a jpg on the fly into the cache - meaning more server load but less iteration.
Or what about a #bash
script for the /tools
to be run on demand for back issues?
Does anyone have some pieces of code for that?
Thanks and all the best
Klaus
