I would like to display in my app the image of the cover page af an
pdf document produced internnally within my app ( wich plugin should
be better … ? pdfwrite ?.. generally it will be a less than 2 pages
document)
on the home page I would like to display the cover pages as png or jpg
with a link to the document or another action…

thanks for your suggestions

RMagick can convert a PDF to either PNG or JPG. If you just want the
first page, add [0] to the file name when you read the PDF, i.e.

img = Magick::Image.read(“mystuff.pdf[0]”).first
img.resize!(how-big-you-want-your-image-to-be)
img.write(“mystuff.png”)
