A cleaner mechanism for assigning a representing image to any album object would be preferrable.

I agree in general, but still.. being able to easily generate an image of the first page would be very handy as default behavior. I've done it here for a pile of random pdf files and it looks quite good in my jAlbum.

Heavily dependent upon the nature of the source material. I've also seen collections of PDF's that were pages from technical manuals - the thumbnails would be indistinguishable from each other!

Hello everyone. I actually think it's very important to arrange legible text next to some images, which makes PDF necessary.
However, I also consider the first page important here.
Multiple PDF pages should be delivered as PDFs by other means.
In my experience, I usually do one thing before tackling new tasks that would be cumbersome.
So I compile images and finish my album.
My approach would be to position the JPGs of the PDF in the desired location right away and not have to rework them.
That only works if I've already created them.
Of course, there are many different requirements, and not all of them can be integrated, such as including only pages 3, 8, and 1 of my PDF travel report in different places.
My approach is to convert every PDF or multi-page PDF into individual JPGs in one go.
Whether I use all of them or what I use later falls into the process of compiling images and creating an album. Whether renaming (THM) or something else, you can use a renamer first.
This software can do amazing things like BAT in a single run.
