How to get thumbnail/preview image from PDF files?

External Since: Feb 20, 2006 Posts: 2

Dear all,

I am now developing a simple C/C++ program which is used to preview a
selected file. I use IExtractImage to extract the image. I expected my
program can preview all files that can be previewed in windows
explorer. It works with html documents, Office documents, image files
but not with pdf files, however. (With Acrobat Reader 7.0 installed)

I got the following error message while extracting preview image from
pdf file:

"The data neccessary to complete this operation is not yet available"

Can anyone tell me how to preview pdf files?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Eva

Ever found a solution for this problem? Because i'm having the same
problem with Acrobat reader 7 and 8.
