I've got exactly the same issue! - See here - I could not yet try out the suggested solution though.

Same here.

Alfresco 3.3g CE on Ubuntu 10.04 Server.

I think that's the solution - to check that Xvfb is running correctly, and that Alfresco is starting up with the headless option. Making that change resulted in thumbnail previews showing up for all pdf and doc files.

Notes for posterity:
- Before adding the headless java startup option to Alfresco, some pdf and doc thumbnail previews were there and some weren't. This might be due to cached previews.
- All full-size previews were working.
- I was unable to get any errors in the error logs.

Same here! The headless option solved the problem.
