Hi, I am trying to increase the width of a PDF embedded in a note and read on the forum that it can be done through accessible the developer tools. I tried it through the main menu (View) but its not selectable. I tried the keyboard shortcut (Alt-CMD-i) but this too doesnt do anything? Any advice or help?
p.s. I am using a Mac.
3 things:
Can you paste your “Show Debug Info” command results?
And possibly show a screenshot of your menu, where it’s not selectable.
Where did you download Obsidian from? Recently it was discovered there was a fake site distributing a malware version. Make sure you installed from the obsidian.md official site.
Help > Show Debug Info
The text can be copied from the debug window and pasted here for diagnostics.
Stupid question, but do you have a window open (with some random file) when you’re trying to open Developer Tools?
Here it is:

In Obsidian I only have the main window open.
I have other apps open too.
Is that what you meant?
Yeah, you need to have at least the main window with some file open. I didn’t see it at first in your screenshot, but when looking a little bit closer I saw it on the far right.
Are you able to open the Developer Tools in the sandbox vault?
I’ve experienced it not showing a few times, at one point I felt it was related to splitting up the main window into multiple tab groups, but then again, that wasn’t always the case. So it works for me (on Mac) almost always. But if you’re using multiple tab groups, that could also be worth testing to see if it then helps to close down to just one tab group.
This worked! Thanks so much!
You should also download and reinstall Obsidian from the website. Your v0.15.9 installer is very out of date. You’ll be missing some of the latest components that can’t auto-update inside the app.
