If you really want a thumb of a .pdf document, you can convert this doc into an image and generate a thumb. There are several libs that do this.
I've worked with ImageMagick to do this, and it's free:
But the lib is huge for such functionality ...
PDFSharp, I'm not sure what converts pdf to image, but you can take a look: link , I just used this one convert image to .pdf.
And it has: link , which is free, lightweight and easy to use.
You can read more about it:
I know it's not what you asked for, but would not it just give you an image, or vector, of something that would send the extension and add to all the files? This would not compromise your processing and you could indicate the file by name, but only a suggestion. (=
Oh, and I only gave you alternatives in .NET because you did not specify the language.
