If you want to create a page overview image from a PDF file, then you’ve come to the right place!

Step 1: Create working folder

Use this command to create a temporary working folder:

–

Terminal

$ mkdir /tmp/bilder

The following command creates an image of each PDF page:

–

Terminal

$ convert 716023b632a9cbe6cad3ab368c202288.pdf /tmp/bilder/page.png

Now the collage just needs to be put together:

–

Terminal

$ montage /tmp/bilder/* -shadow -geometry '400x400+2+2>' -background '#f1f1f1' uebersich.jpg
