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.
