I have to deal with litterally thousands of pdf files at work and I'm wondering if it's possible to change how pdf icons are displayed in the Finder to make my (and presumably other people's that have the same problem) life easier:

1. Is there any way to display the first page of the document as the icon (instead of the OS X Preview or Acrobat icon) and if yes,

2. Is there any way to make the icon BIG (more than 128X128).

Ideally, I would like to have 4 to 6 icons (with the image of the first page) on the space of the screen that I could scroll through quickly. That way, since you could clearly read at least the title of the document, it would feel a lot more like leafing through a stack of paper to find a specific article.

It's probably impossible to do this just by changing the OSX settings but if anyone knows of 3rd party software that does this please let me know. Otherwise, if anyone wants to write code that would do this, I know I would pay for software that does this!
