- <h3>PDF thumbnail generation.</h3>
-
- <p>
- The PDF writer needs to be able to generate thumbnails (small previews).
We
- might do this through the 'tee' capability mentioned above.  However, we
- currently prefer the idea of implementing a completely separate program to
- add thumbnails to an arbitrary, existing PDF file: this would allow
- Ghostscript to add thumbnails to PDF files generated by other programs.
- <I>Much of the code needed to do this has already been written
- for Ghostscript's PDF linearizer: see
- <b><tt>lib/pdfwrite.ps</tt></b>.  A user has implemented this as well,
- using a separate program that calls Ghostscript: see
- <a href="http://www.uni-giessen.de/~g029/eurotex99/oberdiek/">
- http://www.uni-giessen.de/~g029/eurotex99/oberdiek/</a>.
