This plugin creates thumbnail previews for uploaded PDF files by interfacing directly with the Ghostscript interpreter on the server. It is designed for site administrators who need reliable PDF previews without relying on specific PHP modules like Imagick.

• Direct Ghostscript Processing: Uses the system's Ghostscript installation to render the first page of a PDF into a JPEG preview, bypassing the platform's standard image processing library.
• Resolves Color Space Issues: Correctly handles PDFs with CMYK or alpha channel color profiles, which often cause broken or incorrect previews with the default method.
• Regeneration Tools: Includes an admin tool, bulk action, and individual media row action to regenerate previews for existing PDFs if needed.
• Performance and Quality: Can be faster than the standard method and often produces clearer previews with fewer visual artifacts, even at a slightly reduced default JPEG quality setting.
• Server Requirements: Requires the PHP exec() function to be enabled and Ghostscript to be installed on the server. It does not need the Imagick PHP extension or the ghostscript server package.
