Create Thumbnail From Pdf C
Creating Thumbnails in a PDF File. Open the PDF file in which you want to create thumbnails, and click the Pages icon, indicated in the image below by the red arrow. If you do not see the Pages icon, it may be hidden. Right-click on the vertical gray bar on the left side of the screen, and select Reset Panels to make the icon appear. Generating Thumbnails for PDF Pages I was making some changes to a website where I had some PDF files and I wanted to be able to post thumbnail images of the PDF file. There were enough PDF files for me to want to take the lazy route and write some code to do it for me.
Hello I would like to create thumbnail from doc docx, actually I use library Leadtools but I have this error :
ExceptionFilter Leadtools.RasterException: Invalid file format at Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.CheckExceptions(Int32 code) at Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.DoLoad(LoadParams loadParams) at Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.Load(String fileName, Int32 width, Int32 height, Int32 bitsPerPixel, RasterSizeFlags flags, CodecsLoadByteOrder order)
I would like to use an another lib for create the thumbnail.

LeadTools is an image processing library so will fail to process non-image formats like DOCX.
The ability to read the Windows created thumbnail for other files is covered in the existing article;
C#/ASP.NET - Get thumbnail from PDF/DOC files which references the Microsoft documentation here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa289172.aspx that explains how to get the image. The Microsoft doc explains how to do this in SharePoint but the example is in VB.net so should be easy to follow.
The phrase about LEADTOOLS being 'an image processing library so will fail to process non-image formats like DOCX' is not entirely true. With some formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files (among others), the toolkit can convert them to images but only if a Document Imaging toolkit is used. Entry-level Imaging Pro cannot load such formats. Also, if the appropriate format codec assembly is missing from the project, you will get 'RasterException: Invalid file format'.
