Phantom is a theme that should work out of the box on most sites, without much customization.
It has no tables, is flexible in width and can be run with one, two or three columns. Primary links come as tabs above the content (and do not expand). User pictures, image classes for inline pictures, and various practical areas for blocks are predefined.
Some thoughts have been spent on SEO, thus only node titles are -H1-.
What's more, the way Phantom displays the site title is slightly unusual, the screenshot cannot really convey this, so try it out;)
The PDF To ImageField module provides automatic conversion of uploaded PDF files to images.
It can be used either to create a snapshot of the front page to use as a preview thumbnail, or to generate a gallery of images from each page in the document.
The module is implemented as an additional widget for File Field where PDFs are uploaded to. It places generated images into a Image Field on the same content type.
