I am interested in creating a library containing articles (at the moment they're in pdf format). Some go to more than a single page. Is this possible in Gallery2? And, if so, could someone point me in the right direction of how to do it? The only way I can think of is to save the documents as jpegs and upload each page as a separate image. |

Gallery with the help of Imagemagick or graphicsmagic can creat snapshots of a pdf when compiled with ghostscript(default these days)
BUT it will only create a snap of one page at a time which you can choose by editing the item.
You can however create a pdf viewer module if you have some php skills.

Hmmm. Thanks. Sadly, php is a learning curve I've yet to start. Would I be using Imagemagick or graphicsmagic to create jpegs - which is what I would do with Photoshop so each page would be uploaded as a separate image? I don't mean to sound dense, it's getting late in my corner of the world and I'm probably making heavy going of this.
