    Default Online PDF Overview

    I am wanting to have pdf files for people to download, but is there a way that i can display the pdfs with a complete image overview of the file? Because i have a few hundred pdf files but i cant think of a way i could make this possible without going through each pdf file and taking a image of it and using that. And i also plan to change pdf files in the future.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for reading

    A few things to note:

    To ensure they stay on the website the best thing it to convert to HTML, and there are free online places that can do this for you easily.

    Thanks

    I dont mind if they download it, I am wanting something along the lines of this kinda layout.

    |-----------------|
    |__pdf________|
    |__overview___|
    |__pic________|
    |_____________| Download (hyperlink to download the pdf file)
    |-----------------|

    Pretty much i want the user to be able to see the pdf file before they download it, saving time and they dont have to download through the pdfs to find the one they are looking for with the content they want.

    Or would it be easier to convert them all to .html and then have a hyperlink that pops up a new window? Or is there a way to just use the pdf files directly?
