<p>This plugin hooks into the media manager and generates a thumbnail everytime a<br />
PDF is uploaded. Generated thumbnail is an image of the first page in the<br />
uploaded document and is named <code>PDFNAME-thumbnail</code>, where <code>PDFNAME</code> is replaced<br />
by uploaded document filename.</p>
<p>Generated thumbnails are equivalent to <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails" rel="nofollow ugc">featured<br />
images</a> so that common thumbnail<br />
functions like <code>get_post_thumbnail_id()</code> can be used for PDF attachments. See<br />
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails" rel="nofollow ugc">Post Thumbnails</a> for information<br />
on how you can use thumbnails efficiently.</p>
<p>Integration with the javascript media API is not yet implemented, therefore, you<br />
may need to reload the page before you can see generated thumbnail after an<br />
upload.</p>
<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
<p>It is possible to display a thumbnail linking to an uploaded PDF using the <code>[pdf_thumbnails_link]</code><br />
shortcode. The following attributes are supported:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>id</code> – Attachment ID (required)</li>
<li><code>size</code> – <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails#Thumbnail_Sizes" rel="nofollow ugc">Thumbnail size</a> (optional)</li>
<li><code>title</code> – <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes#attr-title" rel="nofollow ugc">Anchor title attribute</a> (optional)</li>
<li><code>target</code> – <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#attr-target" rel="nofollow ugc">Anchor target attribute</a> (optional)</li>
<li><code>download</code> – <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#attr-download" rel="nofollow ugc">Anchor download attribute</a> (optional)</li>
</ul>
<p>Example 1: Display link to PDF with ID = 172 using <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails#Thumbnail_Sizes" rel="nofollow ugc">default thumbnail size</a></p>
<pre><code>[pdf_thumbnails_link id="172"]
</code></pre>
<p>Example 2: Display link to PDF with ID = 172 using thumbnail size (default 150×150)</p>
<pre><code>[pdf_thumbnails_link id="172" size="thumbnail"]
</code></pre>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/profile/mirgcire" rel="ugc">mirgcire</a> for providing the first<br />
version of the <code>[pdf_thumbnails_link]</code> shortcode.</p>
<h4>Developer API</h4>
<p>In most cases it should be sufficient to use built-in thumbnail functions from<br />
the WordPress API (<code>get_post_thumbnail</code> and similar). If you need to modify the<br />
way thumbnails are generated, you can override image generation with<br />
the <code>pdf_thumbnails_generate_image_blob</code> filter.</p>
<p>Example 1: Increase resolution for all generated PDF thumbnails</p>
<pre><code>// $blob is the current image blob (defaults to null, can be used for chaining)
// $filename is the PDF filename
add_action('pdf_thumbnails_generate_image_blob', function ($blob, $filename) {
    $imagick = new Imagick();
    $imagick->setResolution(200,200);
    $imagick->readImage($filename);
    $imagick->setIteratorIndex(0);
    $imagick->setImageFormat('jpg');
    return $imagick->getImageBlob();
}, 10, 2);
</code></pre>
<p>It is possible to modify generated thumbnail links using the <code>pdf_thumbnails_link_shortcode</code><br />
filter. The following attributes are available:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>$html</code> – Generated HTML code to be displayed</li>
<li><code>$attachmentId</code> – Sanitized ID of the PDF attachment</li>
<li><code>$size</code> – Sanitized thumbnail size</li>
<li><code>$atts</code> – <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Handling_Attributes" rel="nofollow ugc">Shortcode attributes (not sanitized)</a></li>
<li><code>$content</code> – Shortcode content (not sanitized)</li>
</ul>
<p>Example 2: Wrap thumbnail link in figure and append caption</p>
<pre><code>add_filter('pdf_thumbnails_link_shortcode', function ($html, $attachmentId, $size, $atts, $content) {
    return "<figure>$html <caption>Click to open image $attachmentId</caption></figure>";
}, 10, 5);
</code></pre>
<h3>TODO</h3>
<p>Add generated image to media browser after upload.</p>
<p>Outline of an implementation based on the javascript media API:</p>
<pre><code>// New uploads
wp.Uploader.queue.on('add', function (attachment) {

    if (attachment.subtype !== 'pdf') {
        return;
    }

    findThumbnailFor(attachment.ID).then(function (data) {

        // Add attachment thumbnail to browser
        var attachment = wp.media.model.Attachment.get(id)
        attachment.fetch().done(function () {
            wp.media.editor.open().state().get('library').add(generated attachment)
        });

    });
});
</code></pre>
<p>Filter: ajax_query_attachments_args</p>


PDF Thumbnails

The plugin does just what it says and the author is very helpful.  My only suggestion would be to add a short code that would insert a clickable thumbnail into a webpage.  Clicking on that would open the PDF in a viewer.
For example: [pdf-thumbnail id="1234" size="medium"]
... naturally this functionality would require host support for imagick.



Nice Job

Works just like it should. Can't believe this functionality isn't in the WP core. Thanks!

Excellent

This plugin generates a thumbnail everytime you upload a PDF attachment. Generated thumbnail is an image of the first page in uploaded document.

<p>Whenever you create a new Theme or Plugin you will always need to create custom data to test whether your plugin is working or not, and as Developers ourselves we had this problem quite alot.</p>
<p>Our goal with this plugin is to fill this gap where you have problem with a good solution both for Developers and for Users of WordPress.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note: This plugin requires PHP 8.1 or higher to be activated.</strong></p>

<h4>Creating Dummy Content</h4>
<p>Normally a WordPress developer will need to perform the task of filling up an empty theme with dummy content, and doing this manually can be really time consuming, the main reasons this plugin was create was to speed up this process.</p>
<h4>Random Featured Images</h4>
<p>Create randomly generated attachments as the Featured Images for your WordPress dummy content.</p>
<h4>Create random Meta Information</h4>
<p>WordPress has Meta for Users, Posts, Terms and Comments, FakerPress will allow you to generate custom dummy meta for all four, with <em>20 types of Data</em></p>
<h4>Delete the Content Generated</h4>
<p>After you are done with your testing it should be easy to delete all the content created using FakerPress, now you will be able to do it.</p>
<h4>Generate Random HTML</h4>
<p>When creating dummy posts what you really want is that the HTML is really random so that you might see bugs that an XML import wouldn’t.</p>
<h4>Generate Images in your HTML</h4>
<p>When you are testing your website images are important, so FakerPress will allow you to output Images to your HTML tests.</p>
<h4>Real Browser data on User Comments</h4>
<p>For comments our plugin is prepared to generate a real Browser data instead of leaving the field empty.</p>
<h4>Random Terms generation</h4>
<p>For creating and assigning the terms you will have a much better tool that will allow you to select which kind of taxonomy you want to assign to your posts, and leaving the randomization to the plugin’s code.</p>
<h4>Real random User profiles</h4>
<p>If you fill up your WordPress with any data for the user profiles you might not catch an edge case, this plugin will fill up the fields with data that will really matter in the tests.</p>
<h4>Modern REST API</h4>
<p>FakerPress now includes a comprehensive REST API for programmatic content generation. All modules support REST endpoints with batching capabilities for large-scale generation. Full OpenAPI documentation is available at <code>/wp-json/fakerpress/v1/docs</code>.</p>

FakerPress

I use this plugin on all my sites during the development phase, thanks !

A must have

To test a potential conflict between plugins, I needed a site with content. 

In the past, I would oftentimes copy/paste Wikipedia articles one by one. But not anymore! FakerPress allows me to quickly generate exactly what I need, without taking up HOURS AND HOURS of my scarce time. 

Thanks for this plugin! 

Pure brilliance

This Plugin has saved me countless hours of generating data to test WordPress. It's a fantastic resource and is a "must have" for any new site I build.

Thanks to the author for creating such a great tool!

One for the toolbox

Super useful to generate quick populated dev sites

Great dev tool

Easy of use and sense of humour by developer. I like both :)

Works with custom post types

Awesome!


This plugin does exactly what it has been created. It has a clean interface, is fast, and has a wipe button—nothing more to add.


The best solution


The setup is easy. The content is generated. You begin to work thereafter.


Simple! Generates the content as sold.


have used this plugin several times when I needed to test WordPress sites with certain content. Specifically it was a lifesaver as I built it my simple user listing plugin! 



Bugs fixed quickly and open to adding useful features. A+ support as well 


fantastic dev tool

FakerPress is a clean way to generate fake and dummy content to your WordPress, great for developers who need testing
