generate thumbnail of file contents

Hope somebody out there can help me out with this problem.

I developing a small document management system for a coursework project using java servlets and jsps. I have got as far letting the user upload the documents (pdf,txts,jpgs, any type...), view and download them.

What I want it, when the user views the documents list, (before downloading) it is possible to generate the a thumbnail of the actual file? e.g. thumbnail of its contents? This is needs to be done for any type of file not just images. Does anyone have any idea?

HiThanks for the reply.I have looked on Google, but they only show tools for creating thumbnails of images files. I need to create thumbnails of files on any type. Can this be done? If so can you point me in the right direction?jjamesis
