PDF "gallery" with download

Permalink
Hello,
This may not be possible but I will give it a go

I am on the hunt for gallery system but for PDF's. so my clint has around 20 single and multiple page PDFs. Ideally I would like the (front end) user to view thumbnails of the PDF's ( of the first Page I guess) and click to view/download.

Hopefully display 4 or so on a front page but have an option to go to an "Archive"

Any idea's or suggestions would be great

Thanks

Dancer

p.s This is my first time with C5 so go nicely :)

one of these two marketplace packages might work out for you:

Thanks for the info Tony.. I will certainly look into it. On the off chance – Do you happen to know if the Thumbnail generation from the first page of the PDF will occur with any of these addons....

Ok I have just watched the screencast fro the second one... and in response to the question above I think the answer is no.

Looks very impressive though

no, it won't auto generate pdf thumbnails, but you can use either to display the default file type icons (not sure if there is an icon specifically for PDFs).

I would suggest that you should create a new image/file attribute for files, but it looks like there may be some kind of bug with concrete that does allow for the selection of file attributes for files.
