Hi all, I just uploaded a new extension to http://ez.no/community/contribs/template_plugins/snapshotpdf It is similar to the Snapshot extension, only that this one grab a page of a pdf and returns a jpg. If anyone has comments, they are apreciated here! Felix

Hi, Would this extension be possible to use to populate an image attribute ? My idea is to add an attribute image to the class file, and automatically populate it with the snapshot of the first page if the uploaded doc is a pdf. Does it make sense ? X+

Hi Xavier Nice work from Felix :-) You could by creating a new datatype and re-use some of the coding from him. The trick is to use the post publish action of your new datatype to look up the file (which is another attribute of the object your new datatype belongs to) and create the snapshot. Also implement the has_content property. In the view template of such a class, use the has_content property to display the snapshot if its available. Feasible, but requires some coding I'm sure you will be able to do :-) Regards --paul

Hi! Nice extension!
I'm trying to make a thumbnail of pdf's using this extension.
Using css to set image size seems like a bad solution, so I had a look at Ghostscript commands to be able to utilize width, height and resolution parameter. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/7.04/Use.htm#Parameter_switches It seems to be parameters like -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=w and -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=h, but I cant get it to work, the size stays the same. Template:
<img src="{ezsnapshotpdf($node.object.data_map.file.content.filepath,2,100,150)}" alt=""/>
Extension:
$command = 'gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dFirstPage=' . $page . ' -dLastPage=' . $page;
$command = $command . ' -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS= ' . $width . ' -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=' . $height;
$command = $command . ' -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile= ' . $save_file . ' -r72 -c --setpdfwrite ' . $file;
Felix, do you have any tips?

Excellent!! Just what I needed, good work.
I want to show the thumbnail in a line view, with a link to full view.
It seems I have to trick it a bit to get the thumbnail filename, and the page has to be refreshed to show the thumbnail picture. This is what I got in the lineview template:
{section show=eq($node.object.data_map.file.content.mime_type_part,'pdf')}
<div class="attribute-short">
<p><b>Ezsnapshotpdf Thumbnail</b></p>
{def $fullpath = ezsnapshotpdf($node.object.data_map.file.content.filepath,1,$height,$width)}
{def $split = $fullpath|explode('.')}
{def $thumbpath = concat($split.0,'.',$split.1,'-',$height,'x',$width,'.',$split.2)}
<img src="{$thumbpath}" alt=""/>
</div>
<div class="attribute-short">
<a href={ezsnapshotpdf($node.object.data_map.file.content.filepath,1)}>See PDF full view</a>
</div>
{/section}

Hi Petter, if it's ok with you, I'll add your code snippet as an example of usage to the readme-file. Felix
