Free alternative to Moriyama.PreviewPDF for creating PDF thumbnail?
I want to make a thumbnail of page 1 when a PDF file is uploaded to Umbraco backend.
The package Moriyama.PreviewPDF (https://marketplace.umbraco.com/package/moriyama.previewpdf.abcpdf) requires licenses for either ABCpdf or IronPDF (or using Ghostscript, but that's not available at my hosting provider).
The Moriyama.PreviewPDF package is open source so you could use that as a base but possibly wire in QuestPDF - I don't know what it's licensing model looks like so you'd have to investigate that. I'm also not sure how capable it is of generating the thumbnail, all I know is that it has the option of generating images:
When Moriyama made the package, I know that we only found limited PDF processing packages that could easily generate the images, but we are open to PR's to improve the package if you find a good alternative :-)
I have tried QuestPDF, but ended up finding out that it is used for creating, not opening or processing PDF's, so it is not a solution for my task as I can see.

Are there alternatives?

I think this is better solution, https://github.com/skttl/ImageSharpCommunity.Formats.Pdf?tab=readme-ov-file
Thanks. Unfortunately I get error when trying to install:
