I've written a Plone product specifically for this purpose. It is
called collective.pdfpeek.
Have you looked at the collective.pdfpeek product?
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.pdfpeekPdfpeek uses ghostscript installed on the server to generate image
previews of each page of a pdf file that is uploaded to ATFile
objects. These images are stored in annotations on the file object
itself. The javascript in the user interface needs a bit of work, but
the back-end is solid. Pdfpeek operates completely independently of
the portal transforms framework and is actively being developed; a
Plone 4 version is in the works. I encourage you to check it out and
determine if it suits your use case. Any feedback is much appreciated!
Cheers,
David
