How to create different thumbnail renditions for PDF in AEM DAM ?

[Ankan_Ghosh]

Whenever we upload a PDF document, usually a few thumbnail images are populated. How can I generate a custom rendition apart from the ones being created out of the box?

Let's assume I want to create a 400 X 400 WEBP thumbnail for all the PDFs uploaded. How can we do this?

Hi @Ankan_Ghosh 

You can create custom Processing Profiles for Assets.

1. Go to Tools > Assets > Processing Profiles from the AEM Assets main interface. Then, choose an existing profile to edit or create a new one by clicking the Create button.
2. Add Rendition Settings
   Open the Renditions tab in the Processing Profile. Here, you can add new rendition configurations by clicking the Add button.
3. Configure the Rendition
   For the new rendition, specify the width, height, quality, MIME type, and other settings as required. The Name field will be used as the name of the generated rendition.
4. Save the Processing Profile
   Once you have configured your rendition, click Save to store your changes.
5. Apply the Processing Profile
   Now, apply your processing profile to the desired folder. Go to Assets > Files, select the folder to which you want to apply the processing profile, and choose Properties > Processing Profiles.
6. Upload an Asset
   Finally, upload an asset to the folder where you applied the processing profile. The custom renditions will be generated automatically.
