Comment (by tomauger):

 Thanks @celloexpressions, we'll deal with the batch update piece later.

 The team here is at a bit of a crossroads and could use core dev feedback.
 It has to do with the actual thumbnail images that we create.

 * We think that the thumbnail image of the PDF ought to be generated not
 just for the thumbnail size (ie: media gallery) but also for all the
 intermediate image sizes as well, so that the thumbnail can propberly be
 used on the front-end.

 * If this is the case, then we have to decide whether these generated
 images are their own attachment that is somehow associated with the
 original (PDF) attachment, or simply the -150x150.jpg versions (etc) of
 the original PDF attachment.

 * If we simply append the size postfix, then we have a TLA mismatch
 situation (.pdf vs. .jpg) - I don't know whether that could pose some
 issues down the road.

 Interested to hear some perspectives on this.
