Unable to render PDF file in obsidian

[alanzhu]

What is my question?

I can’t open any PDF file with obsidian. It works fine until recently. The following screenshot showed current status.

What did I tried?

I tried to uninstall and re-install obsidian. It didn’t work.

I’m almost certain Obsidian’s pdf reader doesn’t have that many “annotations/highlights” tools available …

This could just be a plugin bug/issue …

• Did you try with Restricted Mode toggled On ?
• Do you use any plugins meant to open/highlight a .pdf ?

Thank you so much for your response. I used PDF++ plugin for pdf highlighting.

I tested with Restricted Mode toggled on and I can properly read PDF. But, as soon as I turn on community plugin, the issue come back again. I don’t have this issue previously and I was wondering if you know how to avoid this? Thanks!

Update Obsidian and the community plugins.

If you do Show debug info, you’ll most likely see that you are behind on the installer version, and need to reinstall Obsidian. And I’ll not be surprised if you also need to update your plugins.

If you have not done so, you might want to consider submitting issue to the plugin developer on Github.
