We are aware of this. Hopefully, once we update electron we should get an updated pdf viewer.
Cannot display pdf (one page)
Also have this problem. macOS Catalina 10.15.1. It’s pretty annoying because I have a lot of research in pdf form

The problem occurs in version 0.8.12 of Win 10.
the pdf view in acrobat:
the pdf view in ob:
link: pdf
Having the same problem on windows with 0.9.2
I see that mods have acknowledged it, however I thought it would be valuable to have someone else make note that it’s still an issue in the newer versions.
I’m having the same issue with 0.9.10 on macOS 10.15.7.
Steps to reproduce
Open PDF in Preview
Import and open PDF in Obsidian
PDF Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GTOdU2o1knkAGIMG9S40cdPUlfthGMTH/view?usp=sharing
Expected result
The files should look almost the same.
Actual result
In Obsidian, many components are not visible.
I can provide some more files if needed.
Workaround is to open it in system viewer.
Environment
Operating system: 11.0.1
Obsidian version: 0.9.20

Now I also have the problem!
All PDF’s in my Vault are blank!
It seems fixed for me for a few weeks now. (OSX).

For me it only happened less than a week ago.
And they are still broken.
Is there a way to fix the pdf’s?
I am also unable to view any PDFs in my iPad Obsidian.
Any suggestions?

Looks like (at least for me), it is an interaction between Obsidian and Grammarly Desktop. Bummer!
