• I have taken over management of a site – they have a huge number of PDFs they need better access to. I love that your software just does its thing however we’d like the ‘fancy’ thumbnails and I cant work out why they are not generating. I have tried turning off both jetpack and visual composer, still no joy.

    Thanks for the help

    best wishes

    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,

    Based on your configuration, you *might* be able to get PDF thumbnails from Imagick. Sometimes it will handle PDFs, sometimes it will not.

    If you go through the Thumbnail Management tab and remove all failed thumbnails, enable logging on the Advanced tab, then visit the page where your gallery is located and stay there for a bit, do thumbnails start to appear? If not, if you go to the Logging tab, what is being logged?

    Hi Dan,
    Thanks for getting back to me – the error in logging is

    (DG_ImagickThumber->getThumbnail) Failed to open file in Imagick: PostscriptDelegateFailed `/www/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/RidgewayAd-sept15-1-2.pdf’: @ error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/663

    Can I fix this?

    best

    Hi Lisa,

    I found this (https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=18220) which sounds a lot like the issue you’re having. IMagick delegates PDF processing to Ghostscript libraries and my guess you’ve got an old version of the GS libraries on your server. Depending on who is hosting your site, you may be able to get updated to a newer version which *should* resolve the problem.
