Generate PDF thumbnails in .NET without full Acrobat installed


I've seen various methods for generating thumbnails of PDF files in .NET, but unfortunately all of them require full version of Acrobat installed. Is there a way for getting them with free Adobe Reader or any other way?

  • I find Ghostscript to be just great, and it's free! For Windows, it comes as just a simple .dll and .exe, which you can programmatically launch from C#.
