 * Suddenly when uploading a PDF to the media library, the file no longer displays
   either as a thumbnail preview or on a page. The page I have linked illustrates
   all that is shown.
 * Have not previously had this issue and have loaded many PDFs in the past.
 * Have I changed a setting somewhere..?
 * Please help.
