    Hi Siva,

    You'd need to hook into an event after the pdf has saved then use a third-party .NET library to generate a preview of the pdf and save that as an image file to the media repository.  A far simpler solution would be to use http://imageresizing.net/ which I'm pretty sure can do pdf > image generation dynamically; see http://imageresizing.net/plugins/pdfrenderer.  It works in a very similar way to imagegen and should be mega-simple to integrate.

    Hope this helps...
