Laravel - Thumbnail Generator Installation - laravel

I have a Laravel project that needs files like docx, xlsx, pptx, and pdf to generate a thumbnail. I can't see any tutorials that may be helpful enough for a beginner like me.

Sorry! the package you are referring to is a python library.

Spring Framework 5 Reference Documentation epub

For Spring versions 5.x I cannot find any epub or pdf version of the reference documentation. Former versions were available e.g. at https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/4.3.9.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/epub/. Are they available any more? epubs are perfect to be read with an ebook reader.
My guess is that it will get published in time.
Meanwhile - this is the 5.0.4.RELEASE docs in pdf:
https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/pdf/
which you can convert to epub if you wish to do so.
The only officially available and latest epub is the 5.0.0.M5: https://docs.spring.io/autorepo/docs/spring-framework/5.0.0.M5/spring-framework-reference/epub/
The epub for the latest version is not available.
but, I would recommend you to try to convert the html documentation directly to epub.
as converting pdf to epub does not result in very good result [as tools like calibre convert the pdf to html and then epub]
I tried a online converter to convert the https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/
and works pretty good.. [especially the code blocks seem better than the official epub]
hope you find this helpful.

wkhtmltopdf with silverstripe 3.2

I'm playing around with pdf generation. After the silverstripe modules for dompdf and tcppdf which doesn't work like I want them to, I came across BetterBrief's module for wkhtmltopdf https://github.com/BetterBrief/silverstripe-pdf
It should be exactly what I need but I can't figure out why it's not creating pdfs. I installed it with composer following the module instructions, after that I installed the debian application and set up a demo template with just three words in it to test ist. But the pdf file can't be created.
The error I receive is the following and not very helpful to me http://www.sspaste.com/paste/show/5676bac4a4186
perhapse someone had the same problem or knows a solution for that.
the creation of a pdf from commandline works
wkhtmltopdf http://google.com google.pdf
Edit That's not a real solution for this problem, but an alternativ to create a pdf with SilverStripe and wkhtmltopdf. https://github.com/creativeSynergy/silverstripe-wkhtmltopdf
A quick google shows it has something to do with wkhtmltopdf needing X to work.

How to get standalone self-contained copy of the AppleScript language documentation?

Is there a way to get a copy of the AppleScript language documentation (specifically the overview and language guide) in a self-contained form? I could recursively download the HTML documentation from the Apple websites, but is there a better way?
EDIT:
My apologies for not being more specific: I know you can download the docs in PDF, but I'm trying to find them in a downloadable HTML format.
How about the pdf link at the top of the page?

Author in wiki, generate PDF documents, CHM files or embedded help

Anyone know of a wiki or wiki plugin that generates a PDF file or CHM file that spans the entire wiki?
I would like to have control of the table of contents.
I would like the internal and external links to work.
Ideally allow for tweaking the output template, but that is not a deal-breaker.
I want to generate content using WIKI syntax and mindset (lots of cross-links etc), but ship the content in PDF, CHM or an embedded application form. Something friendlier than installing the wiki software on the enduser machine...
XWiki does this out of the box.
The MediaWiki PDF Export extension allows you to select a group of PDF pages. I've not installed it yet, so unsure if it's easy to use that feature to select all the pages.
Confluence lets you choose pages when you export to PDF a space
But you can't customise a lot the PDF
You can customise it slightly through a theme (based on velocity)
Sphinx (https://www.sphinx-doc.org) is a fairly nice tool for generating HTML (or CHM) and PDF documentation, with wiki-like syntax. It is not a wiki; you can't edit through the web and generating HTML requires a build process. Still, it is pretty nice, with cross-references, fairly simple markup, and (in the HTML output) a search engine implemented in JavaScript with no server-side dependencies beyond static file hosting. Sphinx was developed for the new version of the Python documentation and is pretty themable; for example, the GeoServer project (which I work on, excuse the shameless plug) is using Sphinx with a custom theme for the new version of their user and developer manuals.
JIRA (http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/default.jsp) is your geeky wet dream in terms of control; it exports to PDF (amongst other) and you can have complete control of pages, TOC and other aspects, although expect some complexity to set it up.
Microsoft has an HtmlHelp Authoring tool that can create chm files from html files.
If you need the help files both on the web and within deployed applications, generating the help from the same files used on the web could be a great solution. If the help site was created using asp.net (ie database driven) it might be worth using basic styles and creating a tool to generate html files by reading in the served out pages?
Have a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524239(VS.85).aspx
I guess one could also additionally then create a PDF from the Html pages?
