Don't let that stop you.  I have Paint Shop Pro on a PC and I use it all the
time.  I can't coach you on doing the script but I know that it can do it.

And I think it was on here (but perhaps not) that I heard that Fry's
Electronic Outpost was offering Paint Shop Pro with 2 rebate offers that
reduces the price to $0 + shipping.

Can't go wrong with that so I ordered it (upgrading from v. 8 to v. X (10))
and just received it last week.

http://shop4.outpost.com/template/software/

I think the offer goes until October 31st.

something like that once...

I've just got back from a few days off  can't see the original

That's a pity, as Graphic Converter would whip thru your folders of 
pdfs pauses to put on red fez 'just like that'. Send me half a 
dozen of your pdfs across offlist  I'll run off a sample for you if 
you like -

Hi Peter,

Might want to have a look at this one: http://jalbum.net/ - I've used it
numerous times for photos - don't know if it'll do pdf files, though.

I tried Googling convert pdf to thumbnail and did get some listings so you
might try that as well.
