 When you upload a PDF file WordPress creates a "preview image" - This was
 added as of WP 4.7

 This feature request to have that image also added into the database so
 that it is accessible via the Media Manager.

 The use case for this feature is that I have a Monthly Newsletter and want
 to use the preview image (page 1 of the PDF) as the featured image for the
 post where I am putting the link to the PDF

 Additionally some plugins (like visual composer) allow you to insert
 single images, however, you need to be able to select it from the media
 manager, not just put in a URL
