Hello everyone,

I have recently installed DSpace 7.6 on a server. 
It is running but I have an issue with generating thumbnails for PDF items. I tried using ImageMagick Image/PDF instead of default PDFBOX JPEG Thumbnail, but it did not work. 
Based on the documentation "https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Mediafilters+for+Transforming+DSpace+Content", ImageMagick is not necessary for PDF files, but still I gave it a try. 

Alternatively, I would like to hide the "No Thumbnail Available" box for those Items that have no thumbnails. Which file could I edit to achieve that?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Anton

For the "No thumbnail Available" I think you'll need to customize the thumbnail component in the frontend app
