Hey, all. I'm looking for a way to customize the convert command, I need to append [0] to the filenames, like this filename.pdf[0], so only the first frame/scene is read. I am trying to achive thumbnails of pdf's, but only want the first page, not the rest - thumbnails of 100 page documents is a waste of space, but by default it thumbs every page. I need to get a command like this going:

convert in.pdf[0] out.jpg

I've seen options for pre and post commands, in image ini, and custom convert command, but how do i append just [0] to the filename like the above example?!

Any help would be much appreciated, this should be something so simple to do

Hi jay,

I have the same problem und one more, when the PDF is CMYK (prepress) there should be a CMYK to RGB conversion for browsers, too.
Has anybody an idea where to start? This is a nice feature: Thumbnail for PDF documents. With imagemagick and ghostscript installed.

Greetings, ekke
