Create a sketch from an Adobe Illustrator file?

Does anyone know how to create a thumbnail from an Adobe Illustrator file without using Illustrator? I have a php / linux based application and I would like to do this.

By default, Adobe Illustrator saves files in PDF format. If the file has not been saved in any strange way, you can use ImageMagick directly to create a thumbnail. For example:

convert file.ai -thumbnail 250x250 -unsharp 0x.5  thumbnail.png

Note. If a file has multiple artboards (which are interpreted as PDF pages), it will generate multiple files or, if they are saved as GIFs, animated GIFs.
