<p>Did you know that WordPress generates a thumbnail image file when uploading a PDF-file? This works when the PHP Extension imagick and Ghostscript is available! It won’t work with GD library! You know they are present and it’s working, when you upload a PDF-file in the media library and you immediately see a thumbnail of the file. Now that thumbnails are available my plugin hooks into the Gutenberg file-block to automagically inserting that thumbnail right before the file block. Besides that it also provides some more options:</p>
<h3>Plugin Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>a toggle to insert an preview image before the file block</li>
<li>a toggle to link the preview image with the “link to” settings value of the file block</li>
<li>a toggle to link the preview image with itself to the full-size image</li>
<li>a toggle to enable the Lightbox-Effect on the preview image (enable in settings)</li>
<li>a setting to choose the size of the preview image: thumbnail, medium, large</li>
<li>a settings page to define default for image size and <code>show inline embed</code> default value and a <code>height in pixels</code> default value</li>
<li>when activating the plugin, the <code>show inline embed</code> option of the file block gets disabled by default</li>
<li>the preview image link target is based on setting of file-block (<code>open in new tab</code>)</li>
<li>adds new block styles to file block with just a few inline css code</li>
<li>this plugins main goal is to be very lightweight and avoid loading any additional assets and saving DOM performance. It just uses 3 files. </li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin requires imagick and Ghostscript! A good WordPress web hosting has it installed by default.</p>
