Thumbnail generation fails on some PDFs
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I've noticed that some PDFs won't show a thumbnail no matter what I do; I've tried purging and installing the snap of Evince, only to find that it would result in no thumbnails being generated for PDFs at all.
Most of my PDFs were acquired from Humble Bundles, and some collections have one or two files without thumbnails, others have as many as eight files with no thumbnails; I also tried re-downloading the files, but that didn't help.
Another file without a thumbnail was a fillable PDF that I had edited, but a different fillable PDF that I had also edited did have one.
I've tried using different thumbnailers, deleting old thumbnails... to no avail.
It would seem they also only fail to generate a thumbnail under Ubuntu 18.04, as far as I can tell, anyway.
It's not critical, as I can still read the PDFs, but it's annoying that they don't have thumbnails like the others.
Does anyone know a solution to this?
