This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The question in this thread is that the user wanted to know if it was possible to create a preview image of a PDF file that was uploaded automatically.
Solution:
The best advice here is to allow the user to upload a preview image of the file as a required field because some custom code will be required to create the preview images from the pdf files and custom coding is out of the scope of our support forum.

Hi,
We are creating a site allowing users to upload and download files (resources). Before a user downloads a resource however, we would like them to be able to preview the files (as seen in the screen shot provided). Also, we would like an image to be extracted from the preview and made as an automatic featured image, to be displayed as the thumbnail (when the resources are being browsed).
Let us know if you need further clarification.
Thank you very much for your help and support.
