Title: PDF not loading Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # PDF not loading * [trainmaniac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trainmaniac/) * (@trainmaniac) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-not-loading-1/) * Hello all, * After upgrading to the 1.3.3 version of the plugin I can’t load any PDF anymore. After checking the “Enable Import” checkbox and clicking on the publish button an error 500 is shown. * On the PDFs screen the new file is shown but is not loaded. Editing and choosing to import returns the same error everytime I try it. * Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this issue and what could be the root cause? * Best regards João * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pdf-light-viewer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pdf-light-viewer/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [antongorodezkiy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antongorodezkiy/) * (@antongorodezkiy) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-not-loading-1/#post-7545014) * Hello [@trainmaniac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trainmaniac/), * Please take a look at the following post on our support forum: [https://support.wp.teamlead.pw/q/exception-imagickexception-with-message-pdfdelegatefailed/](https://support.wp.teamlead.pw/q/exception-imagickexception-with-message-pdfdelegatefailed/) * Here is the quote for the reference: * > This issue could appear in situation, when you are trying to import newly created > PDFs with old versions of Ghostscript, for example Ghostscript 8.70 which was > released about 7 years ago! – in 2009-07-31 ( [http://ghostscript.com/doc/current/History8.htm](http://ghostscript.com/doc/current/History8.htm)) > If you import PDF and see the described error, probably (but not definitely) > your PDF contains some parts, formatting or content which were added to the > format/specification after 2009. > And that’s probably the reason why you cannot convert this PDF.

Please let me know Ghostscript version which you have. You could check it on the plugin’s settings page. * Thread Starter [trainmaniac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trainmaniac/) * (@trainmaniac) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-not-loading-1/#post-7545016) * Hello! * Thanks for the tips. I just checked and my ghostscript version is 8.70. However that’s not the issue as I have tested importing the same exact PDF files on another site stored in the same server and in fact I didn’t have any problems. So I thought the problem could be another plugin: I deactivated every single plugin … but still got the error! I still get the error 500. * The server is the same, the wordpress and plugin versions are the same, the files are the same… but in one of the websites I can’t load the PDF. * Stupid question (or maybe not): does the template have any influence on the PDF Light Viewer plugin? As it’s the only thing different after deactivating all plugins … * Can this be a corrupt file on the PDF plugin? I’ll take any suggestion as I’m more confused than ever after testing several scenarios. * Plugin Author [antongorodezkiy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antongorodezkiy/) * (@antongorodezkiy) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-not-loading-1/#post-7545019) * Hello [@trainmaniac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trainmaniac/), * Template have any influence on the import process. * The situation you’ve described is really strange. And unfortunately I have no ideas how to solve it so far. * And as I already mentioned, we’ve successfully imported all “problematic” documents from our users with Ghostscript 9.18. * [kldebagatellefr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kldebagatellefr/) * (@kldebagatellefr) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-not-loading-1/#post-9156433) * Bonjour, * J’ai à peu près le même problème mon fichier pdf ne charge pas alors que j’ai installé la version 1.3.17 PDF Light Viewer Plugin. Quand j’exporte mon fichier PDF on me dit: “Vous n’êtes pas encore converti des PDF. Remarque: il faut normalement entre 60 et 90 secondes pour la conversion d’un petit fichier PDF. Merci pour votre patience !” * Pouvez-vous m’aidé à trouver la solution?
