SYNOPSISthumbpdf [ OPTION... ] PDF_FILE
DESCRIPTIONthumbpdf 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.
