Uploading a preview image of a PDF along with the PDF
The user uploads a PDF file, but I also want to grab (and upload) a preview image of the first page of the PDF. What's the best way of accomplishing this?
I've seen a couple pretty hacky decade-old ways of doing this, but I'd love some pointers or recommendations of where to look

I would probably go with something like pdf.js still, working with pdfs in JS kinda sucks generally though.

Interesting, thanks! I am going with pdf.js and it went well but this looks worth a look too, appreciate it 🙂
That solution is using pdfjs too. It seems to be pretty agreed upon haha 🙂
Best of luck!
