Are you getting any result when you are directly hitting the URL
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/6f2dcb7d-6f5b-4c19-99f0-d9cbc2a90ea3/content/thumbnails/imgpreview?ph=true&c=queue

Thank you for your response, yes when hitting this url directly in my browser, it renders me the first page of my pdf file as a picture (thumbnail).

Edit : it seems that i'm getting a bit further today, the share WebScript now renders the binary characters from the image, i suppose i just need to specify the appropriate output content-tpye (image/png in this case).
How can i achieve that ?
Thanks

Your script response is coming in json format.Just you need to parse it.Use "eval" fuction for parsing it.

What give you the idea that the response format is Json ? (it fails when i try an eval on it)
What i receive from the backend alfresco webscript seems to be a stream to the png image.
So i just need to render this stream to the browser but i presume my freemarker template 'test.get.html.ftl' is not appropriate since it's not html.

I thought you are using out of the box one repository side webscript which has json response.That give me the idea that reponse is in json format.
