How to create a thumbnail viewer
This sample shows how you can create a thumbnail viewer for your PDF application and it builds on the SimpleViewer code sample. The ThumbnailsViewer class creates an interface from which you can easily get an overview of all the pdf pages in the document. In short, the ThumbnailsViewer has a LayoutManager which manages how the thumbnails are ordered, and a link is made to the PageViewer to synchronize the views and a link is made to the PDF document.
