PDF Thumbnail

  • After uploading a pdf to the media library, the media library shows a preview of that pdf.

    In the page editor, can the site admins add a link to a pdf with preview thumbnail?

    Thanks

    That’s awesome thanks, for anyone reading this in the future, the process is thus (for Gutenberg);

    1. Select an image block
    2. Enter Media Library (do not try to upload at this point)
    3. Now choose to upload file
    4. Click insert to page button
    5. You now have a thumbnail of the pdf on the page
    6. Click the link icon in the block editor and select ‘Media File’ to link to the full pdf

    You can’t upload the pdf’s beforehand as they won’t show up in the media library when you use the Image block and this process is a little faffy but it seems like the best solution until the File block has thumbnail support.
