NAME
       thumbpdf  -  generate thumbnail images for a PDF file cre-
       ated 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(x) on your document to create a PDF file.
       Then run thumbpdf to generate the thumbnails, a  PDF  file
       containing  the  thumbnails,  and a pdfTeX file to include
       the thumbnails in the PDF file.  Finally, run pdftex(x) on
       your file again to create the final PDF file.

       thumbpdf  calls  gs(s) to generate PNG images of the pages
       within PDF_FILE, and pdftex(x) to create a PDF  file  con-
       taining the thumbnail images.
