looking for an pdf thumbnailer for html

[Andrea Manuel Just]

Hello Folks

I'm looking for a freeware program with can mark several *.pdf files
and link them into an html page. I've got multiple PDF Files to link
into a html index and I don't want to select every single file.

Thumbnailer is probably not the right expression because I don't need
the picture of the PDF. The link would be absolutely enough.

I tried to find something with google but I wasn't successful. Do you
have any ideas?

Thanks ahead!

What does "mark" mean? What is the problem? You make a list, you
have links in the list items and you put in the names of the pdf
files in the "this" bit of href="this.pdf".

That's quite a dated program. Try this one: http://www.dirhtml.enware.info/

One of the perceived problems may people quote when talking about Linux is
the lack of software available for it. There exists a vast number of these
little shareware/freeware tools that do trivial things like the
requirement you listed above -- probably millions of them. Linux doesn't
have that.

Linux doesn't need that. These kind of requirements can be met using the
tools that have already been included as standard for years.

ls -1 *.pdf | sed -r 's|^(.*)$|<li><a href="\1">\1</a></li>|'

....with no extra charge for the intuitive user interface. ;-)

However, the standard sed does not have the -r option.

It can be done without any external commands:

for f in *.pdf; do
echo "<li><a href=\"$f\">$f</a></li>"
done

Funny, I seem to remember spending a lot of time worrying about correct
operation of the above back when I was 16.
