FirstThumb	Long	Optional. Indicates the one (1) relative thumbnail that corresponds to the page of the thumbnail to be generated and saved. (1 relative means the first page that is specified by passing FirstThumb=1). The default value for this parameter is 1.
LastThumb		Optional. Indicates the one (1) relative thumbnail that corresponds to the page of the thumbnail to be generated and saved. If this parameter is not specified, the default value of ThumbCount is used for TIFF output, and FirstThumb for BMP output.

Remarks

Use the SetSaveAsDimensions method to generate thumbnails of a different size.

In all cases, the aspect ratio of the thumbnail is kept, and the generated thumbnails are centered within the specified dimensions.

If you are saving to a 1.x document, you must include the Admin control in the project and set the FileStgLoc1x. The Admin ForceFileLinking1x property can be used if required, for 1.x document operations.
