Things I have tried
Previous versions of Obsidian displayed the pdf successfully. The pdf itself is not an issue, as it can be displayed in a web browser without problems. The pdf is being stored in a valid path, and other media in that folder loads as expected. I checked the workspace file in the hidden /.obsidian folder and found what is below - hopefully this helps.
