RECOMMENDATIONS:
	Custom theme: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the help vault or disable community theme and snippets.
	Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the help vault or disable community plugins.

The same thing happens with all of the PDFs I try to open — from the biggest OCR’d books to single-page scans. I couldn’t find any posts on this or solutions online! Any advice or fixes appreciated. :slight_smile:

There are other posts on the form about this. Are you sure you searched?

Download and reinstall obsidian from the website.
