Type the following:

sudo apt-get install xpdf poppler-utils jai-core jai-imageio-core

First, be sure there is a value for thumbnail.maxwidth and that it corresponds to the size you want for preview images for the UI.

Edit the "dspace.cfg" file.

nano /home/dspace/source/config/dspace.cfg

Search for the following and modify.

# maximum width and height of generated thumbnails
        thumbnail.maxwidth= 80
        thumbnail.maxheight = 80

Now, add the absolute paths to the XPDF tools you installed.

See example below.

xpdf.path.pdftotext = /usr/bin/pdftotext
xpdf.path.pdftoppm  = /usr/bin/pdftoppm
xpdf.path.pdfinfo   = /usr/bin/pdfinfo
