thumbpdf [ OPTION... ]  PDF_FILE

       First run pdftex(1) on your document to create a PDF file.  Then run thumbpdf to generate the thumbnails,
       a PDF file containing the thumbnails, and a pdfTeX file to  include  the  thumbnails  in  the  PDF  file.
       Finally, run pdftex(1) on your file again to create the final PDF file.

       thumbpdf  calls  gs(1) to generate PNG images of the pages within PDF_FILE, and pdftex(1) to create a PDF
       file containing the thumbnail images.
