Hi all,

I read many posts on this subject but still have no a complete solution for next task.

I'm creating a website for a newspaper. The customer wants to publish every issue they print on the website in Archive section.
Every issue should be available both as PDF for downloading AND as a set of images for every page of the issue's pages.
The source of an issue is PDF document.

So, I need to provide this behavior:

1. An editor creates a page for specific issue and uploads PDF.

2. When viewing the node, Drupal should create JPEG thumbnails for every page from PDF, listing all thumbnails on the node's full view.

3. Every thumbnail should be linked to a high quality preview of the page.

Modules, which I expect to be involved in this task:

* CCK
* FileField
* ImageAPI
* ImageField
* ImageCache
* Lightbox

Any ideas how to implement this?

UPD. I should add to above, that I don't really care which image toolkit ImageAPI would use - either GD or IM - can use both!

UPD2. Also, if someone is ready to provide [consulting on how to] full implementation of my task, I'm ready to discuss rewarding.

This isn't a trivial task, but checkout http://drupal.org/node/641372 for some good info on how to approach it.

Thank you for reply. (I missed it since didn't get any notification).

Well, I did read that thread, before topic creation. I'm not sure, this is suitable approach. I think of autocreating ImageField field values for every page. I though someone already did it.
