Trenton HandClaude Sonnet 5.5 a05afd654c Feature: Generate PDF thumbnails via poppler utils (#14420)
* Chore: Generate PDF thumbnails with pdftoppm and Pillow instead of ImageMagick

Replace the ImageMagick convert based PDF thumbnail path with pdftoppm and
Pillow. Keeps thumbnails at 500px wide for small and odd sized pages, covers
the qpdf repair and double failure paths, removes the unused run_convert
helper, hardens thumbnail encoding, deprecates PAPERLESS_CONVERT_MEMORY_LIMIT
and PAPERLESS_CONVERT_TMPDIR, and corrects the related docs and CI.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Chore: Supersample the PDF thumbnail render 2x

Render the PDF page at twice the target size and downsample, with edge case
handling for small and odd sized pages, simplified helpers and tests, and
trimmed comments.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix: use a fractional thumbnail DPI so oversized pages render a bounded raster

* Deprecate the unused PAPERLESS_GS_BINARY setting too

* Warn at startup when pdftoppm is missing

* Resample PDF thumbnails once instead of twice with LANCZOS, still never enlarging

* Read PDF page size from pdfinfo so it matches pdftoppm

* Mark the thumbnail constants Final

* Comment each pdftoppm option

This is the single source of truth for "does this PDF already have real

tagged-but-textless PDF can end up with no archive AND a forced OCR pass
