putting a link to a pdf and using pdf as the image

I have a webpage that has a magazine on it. I have an img tag with a link to the pdf on the server. When the magazine changes I have to upload a new magazine and upload a new image as a thumbnail for the magazine. Is there a way to accomplish the same task by just uploading the pdf so that I don't have to create an image of the cover and then upload it also?

thanks,

Some browsers support embedding PDF files natively, but not all do. It is not currently possible to do this unless you have a PDF to jpeg conversion script on your server that will generate the thumbnail.
