I have a Drupal 8 website where I am currently manually generating a PNG or JPEG image of the first page of a PDF file.  I was looking for a way to automate this and found the PDFPreview project, but it doesn't exist for Drupal 8.  I could look into writing a module to do this in Drupal 8 (something I've only dabbled in before) but I thought instead I'd ask around to see if anyone else has ideas on how to best do this.

I looked at the Google Preview, but that does way more than I want, such as allowing viewing the full file, but I want to keep this really simple and just generate a basic thumbnail image that can be rendered in a view.

You can see what I'm currently doing here:  https://www.ncr-nmra.org/

Thanks!

I found in the issue queue that work is in progress for a D8 version of PDFPreview.
