[TYPO3-english] pdf thumbnails how???

[jaco graaff]

I seem to be able to get to the thumbnails when I use the image-list 
content object - I can select the PDFs through the file-select dialogue 
- thumbnails are then placed in the front-view - selcting the images can 
work automatically with click-enlarge - I can also use the linklist 
dialogue to create links to the actual pdf files with click-enlarge

This is unluckily not an ideal solution to give to my client who will be 
updating the site
Do anyone know how to use the pdf-thumbs with a link-list or if there 
exist a plugin that already does this

thx

Jaco
